[QUOTE="ysne58, post: 106259, member: 3570"] I finally went on the insurance company website about the formulary issue, they told me to contact the pharmacy benefits company. I'm saving that and then giong to contact the ocmpany, probably next week after I see my own doctor about all the other medications on the list. I do not think removing straterra from that formulary is appropriate when the only alternatives being offered are in a completely different class of medications. I've got the legislature and the DOLI looking at the due process stunt. The specific medication involved is phentermene. My doctor prescribed it for weightloss. It has helped slow down and then prevent further weithg gain. NOt because its a weight loss medicine. The reason ist working is because when you add phentermine on top of an antidepressant (and it doesn't seem to matter which one) for some people, you have an effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Part of my eating problem is tied up with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) issues. But I also have a problem with compulsive scratching to the point where I developed severed chronic dermatitis. That cleared up after I reached an effective does of the phentermine. The insurance company stopped covering and I was off the m eds for two weeks looking for a way to get the medication that I could afford. During that two weeks the dermatitis came back full force. That's when I did the research on phentermine and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Those studies were published in 1993 and 1994. There are at least two patents out on it covereing phentermine + some of the antidepressants. We found a solution I could afford, I've been paying out of pocket and the dermatitis is gone again. I think I can guarantee this stunt won't be pulled on anyone else, cause I've contacted the legislature about the due process stunt. I'm still working on my own coverage. I think I'll try filing a complaint against the head of the medical part of the insurance company with the medical practices board for violating the Hippocratic Oath-- the part where the physician promises to do no harm. A law suit isn't cost effective. Creating nasty headaches for these people just might work though. [/QUOTE]
