Heres the phone number 1-855-552-8832
I hate that psych meds are so freaking expensive.. I know the drug companies need to make money to pay for development of new medications but .... Damn

I'd like to rant about Big Pharma and it's enabler, too. I'm referring to the situation in the US, not necessarily in other countries. Many other countries don't have the same kind of "enabler" that people in the US have. In the end, the "enabler" is the biggest a-hole of them all.
I used to use the Latuda Savings Card, and it reduced my monthly copay to $15, but that was WITH big name insurance (Aetna). If a person has no insurance, even if they forgive $400 of the 30-day supply, it could be outrageously expensive. I don't know what the final situation would be for a person with no insurance, but I recall my pharmacist telling me that my 30-day supply of Latuda (when I used to take it) had a total cost of over $1,000. I would hope that some other means of reducing that astronomical price is available.
