Clozapine really makes things difficult; it is the thing that I make my entire year's decision on because it is so hard to find it covered.

At least now I know. I've been putting off looking for weeks.
I don't know if this would apply at all to psych meds, but I heard on the news that one of the political parties in the US is trying to pass a law to force the lowering of the outrageous insulin prices from like almost $300 (something like that) per month to $35, but the other party (guess which) won't vote for it. Costs seem to be a real issue for some with diabetes. The drug companies make sure the prices stay high for the sake of increased profits. As about 10% of the US population is diabetic, not lowering prices is almost criminal, or at least cruel, in my view.
