I have many fewer blood levels taken for Tegretol. Same for Depakote.

I think it's an atrocity that people have to pick meds solely based on price. For shame if insurance coverage is that limited and inadequate. People living in the US may find this atrocity more common in the somewhat near future. Write your congressman/woman, if in the US.
Oh dear, I'm already on thyroid meds.
