Is it expensive? My doctor tried to give me a higher dose but it made me too ill. I was throwing up all day. Now îf my insurance would only approve ît! I can't imagine why they are balking unless it is over the cost. I believe it is a newer drug.
Rytary costs us about $300/3mo supply
I am interested in knowing I advice regarding hiring home care providers. Have people been happier with the national chain type agencies versus smaller independent agencies versus privately hiring an individual? What was the hourly rate you had to pay? We’re you happy with the quality of care or disappointed? What worked and what didn’t work well? Thanks!!!!
I am completely disheartened trying to find a solution for care. I wish I could retire and just take care of my dad myself as I enjoy caring for him.
is there anything that can be done for confusion? take anything? movement causes MORE confusion.
Sorry I'm not sure I understand the question ....... 😃

I need help with a Plan "D" plan for my first enrollment into Medicare. I'm going through/getting help through a non-profit to help find the best plans/best cost, but the Azilect seems to be a sticking point. The Plan "D" drug plan is going to cost more than my current copay with a commercial PPO. The issue is, as most of you know, there is no generic Azliect (Teva Labs got an injunction about a month ago preventing a generic to come into the US market). Any suggestions? Terry
I actually got a separate plan from CVS that saved me a lot.
