Linn,

I don't know what your finanacial situation is, but log onto rxassist.org. (NOT rxassist.COM!!!) Click Search. Ignore disclaimer and click Search again. See if any of his meds are available through drug company patient assistance programs. If you qualify financially the drug companies will send Tom's doctor(s) the meds for Tom gratis, or for a small ($5.00) co-pay. The programs vary alot by company, but for many of them you can download the application, complete your part and then take it to the MD to complete and mail. I work in a public mental health clinic and use these programs alot to obtain meds for our clients, but many physicians in private practice or in hospital based practices don't ever think of these programs.

Hope this site proves helpful.
