I am in need for serequel and cannot afford to pay such a cost.
Do you have a program for people without money to pay for Seroquel?

OH PLEASE if you do get an answer share it with me! I am 40 yrs old diagnosed w/Bipolar disorder am on 800mg Seroquel, on medicare and in the "donuthole" as they called it. right now I am getting by on samples from my Psychiatrist and my neurologist. Even when I get out of this donut hole medicare will only pay up to certain amount of scripts per year hense the "donut hole" I would only get maybe 4 months then be screwed again. As it stands it's 800.00 a month for my script. I've tried astra zenica patient asst, also they have a program for situations like mine but I have been denied everything I have applied for. I am on Social Security Disability due to my M.S. but they stll say I make too much money. But maybe in your situation if you go to astra zeneca's website you may be able to qualify or you can call them wouldn't you know I can't find the phone # but it is on the website. If I come across it I will get it to you unless you are like me and have exhausted all the resourses... Hang in there~Amy

I don't know much about any of these sites, how they function, but as I already mentioned, might be worth checking out...

Jeff K Hi! I had mentioned a web site that I found that helped pay for my daughters meds. They can also help you if you still have an income. It is Freemeds.com. It sounds like the first one one you mentioned but I am not sure. It is legit because they did help my daughter. Members can check it out themselves. It may be helpful. Sweetie Pie

Koo koo,
You can contact the AstraZeneca Foundation Patient Assistance Program at 1-800-424-3727 or at http://www.astrazeneca.com. AstraZeneca manufactures Seroquel and they have a pretty good program from what I've been told. Hope this helps.

I haven't veen on seroquel for some time now, but when I was I was without any income. The Dr I was seeing had some form of agreement with their manufature and got me on the patient assistance program for Seroquel. When I did not receivi from them, the Dr always had samples to see me through. Tell your perscribing Dr. you need help staying on this med and I'm sure he can help you find a way to get it.

I take Lamictal and do not have health insurance and have been unemployed for almost 2 years... so MONEY is a BIG ISSUE!! I remembered that Montel Williams commercial awhile back about what to do if you can't afford your medication... I forget what he was representing (I am sure you could probably Google him and find out)... anyway, I remembered that I had heard that most drug companies have drug plans for those who cannot afford their medications. I went online to GlaxoKlineSmith and they had 2 programs. I signed up for one and have been getting my meds for free. I think you can for one year and then have to prove that you are financially unable to afford it again (submit tax return). I think one of the 2 programs they had was for a program that applied to other companies... could be wrong... but check it out. I would definitely go to the manufacturing company website first, they are bound to have a program. If that doesn't work out, perhaps the Walmart generic drug program (1 month for $4.00/ 3 months for $12.00) might be an option.

Seroquel Company will send your Medicine to your Doctors Office, If you Call Seroquel Company. The Pharmacy can give you the number or Manufacture Name, so you can call them. An Operator is on line to serve you for your medicine. You will then get a form in the mail to see if you make so much a year, it is free to you, this is then signed by your Doctor and fax back to the Company.

I have been on Seroquel for sometime now and lost my health coverage when I got married. In my area I go through a place called Crisp. This place works with the drug company to get you your medication for free. And if your doctor signs off on it they will send it right to your door. I used to get samples from my doctor but then I realized they where giving me Seroquel XR and I am not on that kind. Ask your doctor about it, better yet ask the nurse about getting help from the drug company. And you should have no issues. I know this drug is so expensive. And it is expensive because there is no generic for it. I take it for sleep and for my mood stablizer. I take 100mg. Which is lower then SOME people who have commented. If you need help getting this done or need help with the questions to ask your doctor's office let me know. And search in your area for Crisp. (Crisp is how they say it but its not spelled that way.

Try www.4rx.com. Their generic medicine does not require a prescription apparently. The quality seems identical to AstraZeneca's. If generic from another country bothers you, check the manufacturer that they use. One manufacturer that they use for generic Seroquel is Cipla. One example of the cost comparison is just under $40 for a month's worth of generic Seroquel at 300 mg. If you take extended release, you can take the medicine multiple times per day to keep a more consistent level in your blood stream. Of course, check with your doctor. If you are looking at paying much more than this (especially $800 per month!), you should figure out a way to order this from the above mentioned website. Also, you can order it in larger quantities and save more. Hope that helps!

Hello amy, Something dosen't smell right about this. Let drugs .com handle this. They are far more knowledgeable about these things. Sacosam
To whomever is in on this - please lmk too b/c I'm unemployed, have no insurance and practically no money. I 've had chronic but "undiagnosed" back pain for years, they're had me on every pain med out there - fentanyl, morphine, kadian, you name it.
Expand this post...
The most my dr would do is give me 60 soma and 120 perc 10/325's a month, but now I have nothing and I just want to die, I can't even pick up a gallon of milk or my own purse. I feel so utterly hopeless and depressed and don't even know what to do anymore. I need to be looking for a job but for one thing my comp has been broken for close to 2 weeks and my pain just keeps gettng worse, it hurts to do anything, to even move. It hurts to lay down, to sit, to stand... and when I do lay or sit down it's all I can do to get up, I can't understand how I can be in so much pain for so long and have seen no less than a dozen dr's and have had supposedly every test in the book run and none of the idiot dr's can find anything wrong with my back that they say is even remotely significant enough to cause my pain, they even made me see a shrink b/c they thought it was all in my head. I'm sorry, I'm no dr, but when I had gone to the ER for the pain (which was years ago when the pain started - out of nowhere, for no reason) and my BP was 164/98 (which the dr's said was from the pain and that there was no way I could fake that) but they couldn't admit me. But I had insurance back then and up until a few months ago when I got laid off, they sent me to every -ologist specialist they could think of, I was in so much pain I was in a wheelchair for months. In my experience, PCP's basically refuse to give pain meds, and had I been you I'd have never told my PCP that the other dr gave you the Rx's he gave you and just gotten them filled. But that's me, I've been thru so much crap and screwed over so many times that I research like crazy about back pain and what all my MRI's and everything else say that often feel like I know more or better than the dr's do. I guess they all just see me as a 30 year old who must be faking it b/c she's just a drug seeker. Hello, I have a BS in astrophysics and in astronomy, an MS in space systems, and was an engineer on the space shuttle at KSC until I got laid off b/c of what's happening to the shuttle program and what our gov't is doing to the space program as a whole. I don't think I could've accomplished all that school and had that job if I was a junkie addicted to pain killers. Dr's are supposed to care, supposed to help, supposed to want to make their patients feel better, and denying someone who has chronic pain a means to alleviate their pain is, in my opinion, torture. Certainly not help. And it seems to me that it violates that hippocratic oath I thought they all had to take and abide by.
Anyways, sorry for kinda going off there, but I am so sorry for what you are going through and I definitely understand what you are going through and I feel so bad for you, from the bottom of my heart I hope you find some help, some relief, something, anything. Keep me posted.
To everyone else I need to respond to, I will tomorrow, I have to get to bed before for now.
Oh I understand. all I could do is share info I sure as heck won't share meds thats for sure!
I may have a mental illness but I'm not CRAZY-lol ty for your input.
I guess I just figured there are alot out there having the same issues.
But you are right Drug's.com could help alot more then I.

Koo Koo and Mom 2, hi! I had already sent a comment to you both ( and everyone in our group) about a program that I found for my daughter. The board at Drugs.com said thet had to review it before letting it through. It may have been because I put my e-mail address on it. Well, I found a legit program on the internet that helped my daughter pay for her meds. She has no job or insurance and is on several medications which are very high in costs. The site is FreeDrugs.com. There is an application to complete but you can have an income and still get help. They also provide a list of drugs that the pay for which is quite long. I was surprized that Zanax CR was there because it is so new. I hope that this is helpful to those in need! Sweetie Pie
You can Call Seroquel Center at Astra Zeneca 1-800-236-9933
Ask for Application for low income people. They will mail it to you, ask your Doctor to fill out the Application for free Seroquel, fax it back to Seroquel,
The Company then will mail your Prescription to the Doctor's office for your next visit.
Keep on trying, call Seroquel 1-800-236-9933 for Free Seroquel, or your Doctor can supply it, if he has a sales rep. that goes to his office.
The drug manufacturers provide free medication to those that do not have insurance or are considered low income. You can find the information and application on the drug manufacturer's site. Your doctor may also be able to give you the information. About 2 years ago, I was in the same situation and submitted an application and was given a free supply of the meds I needed (1 year). Usually you are approved for a year at a time and then another application is needed. If you are on Social Security Disability, there are other programs that can assist you. Most drug companies have assistance links on their sites.
astro kitty cat are you saying that you have undiagnosed back pain and they give you schedule 2 drugs(percocet) for pain? they dont even know what is the reason. my back pain has been diagnosed and i cant never get more 120 vicodin5/500mgs a month and my doc will not give meanything more than that.your doc could probobaly get in trouble for that but im not sure.
It is a shame when you know your body and what its going through and you go to get help and when they do one or two test and find nothing your drug seeking. However, when i went to my last doc's appt. I had pulled a muscle in my neck and with no proof at all got 90 Ltabs, and all kinds of things. Its not fair i have ddd. degenerative disk disease, and it hurts like a b*****. But my point is why do they think everyone gets addicted to pain pills so easily?
Change to another Medicine that does not cost as much. Sounds as if you have done all you could. Maybe the change will be better. Seroquel 800mg is a lot of mg's to take. How about Geodon, Do you have Insurance for Medicine thru Medicare? CCRX plan is good thru Medicare. Call Medicare about their plan. Good Luck
I was on 300 to 600 mg of oxycontin, and roxicodone, and i scored 20 suboxone, they help with the kicks and withdrawal's, but they are strong, i didnt sleep for the first for days, its stronger than the 30's... and you'll withdraw from those also... plus i paid 200bucks for 20, of the street...
in georgia, you can apply for medicade, and indigent care, my mother and law gets 90 300mg serequils, 60 klonipine, trazadone, lithium... but she has diagnosed bi-polar... but her meds are free...
