Oh and its a huge nono to buy meds for cash outside of the insurance plan if the pharmacy knows you have med coverage. If you meet a coverage limit its different.

Oh, I was totally hitting the insurance ceiling. In undergrad was $1,000 limit for all meds. When you have one med that is $300/mo you reach that really quickly. In graduate school the limit was $500/yr for psych meds (though some really high limit for all other meds). Hit that really quickly even though my meds had gone generic.
