They're not _cheap_, but a hell of a lot cheaper than through Walgreens or WallyWorld, etcetera, and bless their little bodies, they don't jerk patients around, even non-Canadian ones. Of course, the ones I import are paid for on THE CARD, but it's virtually painless at the moment of commission. Huggles for the frustration. . . .

And there's not a jury in the land that would convict me. I've got a free ride on the "crazy drug" express." ;) Heh, as I was driving to Home Despot to get a part to finish fixing my sink, and I was still seething and one of the thoughts I had was: “They should be glad I don’t have a missle launcher that can reach Bangalore, I tell you what.

Not that I expect amything less from an insurer, mind you. Here's to you getting your mess straightened out. Don't rule out bomb threats. Blame them on the withdrawal.

And a pacemaker to boot, come to think of it. It took like 7 appeals from the Dr to get them through which requires: 1- A Doc willing to do so and 2- you to have enough meds stashed to keep from running out. Suckage. sorry :( We went through something likethis w/ my g’mother’s meds way back. And a pacemaker to boot, come to think of it.

Tiny company. The problem is that they insist on the generic, but I react very badly to the generic, and studies have proven that the generic *isn't* the same thing, and releases significantly differently than the brand. Thousands of people have filed complaints about the generic and the FDA is now investigating. So, even though I jumped through their hoops, and got a new scrip that's a "dispense as written", the insurance is now saying that they'll refuse to fill the scrip without prior authorization. So, they want me to get prior auth, then I have to get a new scrip again, then they might fill it. I'm thinking Canadian pharmacies may be my only option at this point. No HR person, really.
