Hi Littlemiss
I was in the same situation with my meds. By accident I found there's something called QMB. Qualified Medicaid beneficiary. Depending on your income, you can be qualified for a subsidy to pay for your meds. It's one of those facts the government and state don't tell you about willingly. Try 1-800-633-4227 and ask for a SPECIALIST. Tell them you need help paying for medication. Due to my circumstances, I am now qualified for "Extra Help", which makes my meds (some expensive ones, like Abilify) only cost $2.90 Be sure to mention Extra Help when you speak with them. You may have to fill out forms about your finances, but it's worth it. Good luck!
Sorry...I missed the part about your income. This may not apply to you, but you can try.
