Flash has a lot of good posts on saving with medications, check her blog. I'd post a link but I'm under the weather therefore dimmer than usual.

I have insurance through work that helps. I know others who have declined the work insurance because of the high cost-well, once they get an illness or injury, what seems high now will seem like pennies later!

I definitely take generics when I can. If I can avoid a medication, perhaps telling my doctor to give me a shot at lowering my own blood pressure before she puts me on meds (I was successful), I try that.

Otherwise: well, I just suck it up. I have meds that if I don't take or reduce, my quality of life will suffer greatly. I give thanks that I have insurance, and pay what I need to and make peace with it.
