Is this Emsam you're talking about?

If you are talking about Emsam, I think there is no generic, correct? If so, can you ask your pdoc for Emsam samples?

Another thing I thought of: I don't know if this would work, but can you go to the hospital (if/when you run out) and request an Emsam prescription there? Would you be able to then make an insurance appeal and state that you went to the hospital as an "emergency" and that they gave you an Emsam Rx? Then I think it would be harder for them to reject coverage for the time being if that's what the drs prescribed "in an emergency," or that maybe the hospital can help you come up with a payment plan until things get sorted.

Dunno. Just trying to see if there is a way the hospital can help out so that you're not in a locked unit in there. Obviously you're exposing yourself to coronavirus just by going in there, but it'd be better than being in a tiny Petri dish for a while.
