In reply to EMSAM: Anyone know how to obtain for less $$$, posted by jaby on October 13, 2006, at 17:37:11
Hi Jaby,
I've sent in a form found on the Squib web site. Should find out in a week or so if I meet their criteria for free Emsam. You might want to give that a try. As expensive as Emsam is, I would think many health insurance companies would baulk at covering for it. It seems as they might be priceing themselves out of the market. Time will tell I guess. Currently I am paying for my Emsam out of my pocket. It has been a little over 6 weeks now and I am getting improving response with the 12mg patch. A week ago I started adding DLPA 500mg. No way to know if that is improving the efficacy. After a few more weeks if I don't recieve what I feel is full relief in my disorder I may increase my dose to above the label max which I am on now or add Lyrica or both. Sure hope they give up some of it for free. I think it could be a usefull treatment for many folks, but its cost is nuts is'nt it? Hope you are able to give it a try somehow. Best wishes.
