Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Yes if you're on social assistance you can get a drug card from the governement that covers your perscriptions, or if you have a catastrophic illness that requires really expensive meds, like HIV, you can apply for the Trillium program which covers your meds and you pay a deductable based on your income. I don't quallify for either.

But happilly this is no longer a problem as I got a new job with great medical benefits starting Jan. 4. Unfortunately I have to wait 3 months for the benefits to kick in, so I'm just going to get my pdoc to write all my scripts for a 3 month supply to carry me through utill my coverage starts. And I just had a bunch of dental work done, so I should be good until my new coverage starts.
