> Hi Rob - As you know I have been waiting a long time for the patch, and now that it is here I can't afford it. I am glad to hear you are doing so well, and wish I were along for the ride. Still trying to figure out a way, but not looking good. Continue to do well, and I know you will keep letting us know how it's going. Richard
Richard:
There is part of me that struggles when I post how well my "start" has been with EMSAM because I know that there are many out there who just can't afford it/don't have insurance to cover it.
That said, I know that BMS did send out samples with many of their drug reps and perhaps you could get enough samples from a doctor to see what kind of response you may get with it. I know that's not an ultimate solution, but might help you find out if it's worth searching for a finacial solution for or not. At least you'd have some idea.
I do think the cost really stinks though especially for deserving individuals like you. Perhaps the price will come down sooner than later. You might try to call BMS directly and ask if they have or will have a program to get EMSAM at a reduced cost to those that can't afford these horrific prices. I wish you the best...
