Get a prescription for a different denomination of the drug. If your original prescription was for 30 tablets 1000 mg each once a day, get a prescription for 60 tablets 500 mg each twice a day - it will be considered a totally different prescription and the insurance will pay for it.

Depakate is not an expensive medication if you have to pay out of pocket, either. I have not heard of GOOD RX and they probably are better, but at worst you will pay what WalMart charges, which is

$24 for 180 tablets 250 mg each. So if you take 1000 mg a day, then 180 tablets 250 each will last you 45 days and tide you over until next month with your insurance and you will pay $24. That is the worst that can happen.
