Financial stress is awful and to be forced to make changes to your meds is so unfair. Is it just this month you can't afford the meds, or is it longer term? Are there generic meds that you can switch to? I don't understand the USA system. If you have to go off them can you talk to your pdoc about a tapering schedule rather than just stopping? I really hope you can find a way to stay on your meds. It is so wrong that you have to pay so much for hospitalisation. It should be free when necessary.
