I have had Epilepsy since i was 14. When i turned 18 i was taken off my parents plan and have had to pay full price for all my meds and doctors and i am now 25. Well the ecomomy is getting rough and i cannot afford to do this anymore. i was paying approx $800 a month for my carbatrol and topamax. i take both 4x's a day for my petit mal seizures and on occasion grand mal. My problem is that only a couple insurance agencys will cover me and the few that will  want my deductible to be out the roof(around $700 a month). if anyone has any advice as to what i can do i would greatly appreciate it. thank you so much.

Contact pparx.org.  Partnership for patient assistance.  it helps find drug coverage that will work, or help get you low cost meds. (Sometimes even free.)  1-888-477-2669. Good luck!

They probably won't me post all of the links here, so if you want, go to my website and in the seach box, type in Deeply Discounted Drugs Without Insurance.
