Nvm found my answer.  Was prescribed x amount, insurance only filled a week worth, about half what was prescribed. I think next time I just need to tell pharm I will pay out of pocket and not use insurance

@cowboys32 that's exactly what I had to do. My insurance would only pay for a week's worth and it's not worth having to go every week. Just be sure they take the insurance off, tell them you don't have it anymore because I had problems with my refills when they kept trying to put it through my insurance after I told them I would self pay.

"Is my prescription ready? No your insurance says that you have exceeded the amount they will cover". Hopefully you can avoid that hassle.

It's just another way for insurance companies to try and cheat us out of what should be covered. They know that many people are not going to try to pick up their monthly prescription every week.

 
Your doc can contact insurance and let them know it’s medically necessary to receive full 30 days of Rx due to patient needs. Only issue would come from regulatory limits on controlled substances, but usually that’s at minimum no more than a 30 day supply per Rx.  Your doc might find this easier on his/her workload as well, and should be interested in limiting unnecessary hassle and barriers to treatment for his/her patients.

It's easier to say s3lf pay. Use G00d Rx for discount coupon and shows where lowest s3lf pay is

That's true. Sometimes you gotta stay off the record and free the restraints of insurance policies, etc. For the long term, and for people who can't afford certain meds, it's a good idea to simultaneously explore the avenue of getting insurance to work for you and pay.

  1. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  2. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  3. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  4. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  5. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  6. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  8. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  9. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  10. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  11. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  12. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  13. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  14. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
  15. R @ Royboy99: @LatsDoodis: thanks brother … I’ve spent months trying to put myself in uncomfortable places to grow stronger. Hours of research, thousands on supplements, therapy etc …
  16. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: @Royboy99 You’re not yet lost. Cut them losses and do what you don’t want to do. Take the boring, shameful, nerve racking way out. It’s the only road back to balance. When you’re ready, you’ll do it. Hit me up if you want support quitting. This ain’t worth your life!
  17. R @ Royboy99: Grateful that this site exists and realizing that trying to save a few bucks today may cost me so much more in the future …
  18. R @ Royboy99: The hardest hit was losing my girl , and I still feel the tremendous heartache everyday, over a year later … knowing that I caused it all. She gave me multiple chances and I let her down everytime … I use Diaz and kpins going on year now for my panic attacks, ptsd and anxiety. With no issues and see a therapist weekly
  19. R @ Royboy99: Destroyed bonds that took me 10+ years to form , over 160k in medical billing… all in result of 6 months of RC use. Now I’m forever labeled a out of control addict that needs to be monitored… lost my girl too in result :(
  20. R @ Royboy99: Gravely underestimating the psychological impacts , I destroyed my reputation, relationships and spent a year in and out of detox and rehab
