I love that stuff! We never have it at our house, though we should! I love that it even grabs onto your fingers in a weird kind of way.

I went without my dexadrine for a week once, and it was the worst week. I was so tired I could hardly move, I was so depressed I couldn't function, and my metabolism slowed down tenfold, I felt awful. I have to schedule an appt with my psychiatrist to get them, and that office LOVES nickel and diming people to death with cancellation charges and ordering a prescription over the phone, so waiting too long to schedule is a bad idea. I need to do it again, but I have to pay the office $60 before I can schedule, since missing my last appointment that he canceled because of the weather. I guess he applied the fee because I didn't reschedule immediately. Bastard knows I'm avoidant and won't dispute the charge. Well, we'll see!

Private medical insurance is one huge rip-off. Month premiums are ridiculously expensive, and that's if you even qualify for coverage in the first place. They won't cover most pre-existing conditions, even ones that you currently receive treatment/medication for.

I just had to switch off my dad's insurance in the fall, and I'd been paying $435/month for COBRA to stay on it until my medical bills from last winter paid through. It's a miracle I qualified.

From what I've experience through friends, state assistance programs and just any state programs, are so bare-bones and so complex to have to deal with... It's like you're being punished in order to use them. It's infuriating when people who genuinely need help are treated like an inconvenience.
