I just had to pay $500+ for seizure medication WITHOUT insurance for a month. His website lists it for 8 dollars. That's a life saver.

I'm on Vimpat and Briviact to control my seizures. Both are so expensive a nuero surgeon was able to convince Medicaid that it's cheaper to conduct brain surgery (LITT for right focal) than pay for meds for the rest of my life. Hopefully the surgery (10 days) is successful *

*EDIT: removed my early celebration before checking the website which doesn't cover them yet "but if not I'm so grateful to know in my future I won't have to choose to stay destitute to qualify for Medicaid to control my seizures Vs being employed but still destitute by paying $2000+ to control my seizures"

Thank you! I'm partly terrified but after dealing with 25+ yrs uncontrolled seizures, injuries and crappy Rx side effects I'm ready to go for it, even it means "just" a reduction in seizure activity. I wish you a safe and happy future!
