[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 533602, member: 1233"] I am so frustrated and furious with your ins co. I have used clonidine patches on the two occasions when my rx's did not arrive in the mail and they were both for every 4 days, NEVER weekly. My doctor is VERY conservative (many patients in my area HATE him because he is so conservative) and for MOST medications he goes wtih the recommended amt. So if this was weekly then he would only have given one patch per week to me. He is a real stickler for that, esp if you are taking it for the first time or after not taking it in some time. As the generic does not work as well, nor does the oral medication, this is EXACTLY why the ins co should pay. esp as the doctor should have given them records to prove that you tried the generic and the oral first. Since they won't, the rx co very likely will. I would go to [url]www.pparx.org[/url] (might be .com) and ask them to help you with the process. I haven't used them, but I do know quite a few people in my area, members of the support group my mother belonged to when it was active, who have had wonderful experiences and successes even AFTER they were turned down for help by the drug cos. I would give this a chance. It INFURIATES me that some person at the ins co who likely makes less than $10 per hour (I have worked for ins co's and this is typical wage for this type of position) is telling the DOCTOR how to practice medicine for your son!!! in my opinion we need some SERIOUS insurance reforms due to this happening far too often.
