Prescription Prices

Does anyone know of any kind of treatment for epilepsy besides prescription drugs? I ask because trying to pay for multiple medicines every time you need them is impossible

I know they cost too much $!! Like Randy said vitamins and supplements help...Check with you're doctor, he might know of a place locally that you can get them cheaper. I myself get the generic version at Publix still just over a $100/mth but I was paying $260ish at Walgreeens. I've heard Walmart has good prices on their meds. I find others ways of helping..Yoga, music, long walks outside and of course a nice joint to relax as needed. ~ All the very best!

There are prescription programs that can take a $400 script down to $40. Takes a minute to find and I actually had a pharmacist track down my first coupon. He looked at the bag with the cost listed, told my husband "HOLD ON A MINUTE, I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS FOR HER" he came back with a coupon he printed for my husband and said "I put this in the system but keep this in case any future problems should come up".

I have also heard a gluten free diet to be helpful.

Some pharmacies have programs to lessen the cost to you. Def ask.
