I needed meds and contacted my neurologist. He informed me that many companies that make the meds at times give people a 3 month supply. I needed Keppra and I contacted the maker and filled out paperwork they sent the meds to Doc and I picked them up. I ended up getting a supply a few times when my insurance was changed. I also got a supply from my county hospital at little cost. The first time it was free because I had just moved to Dallas and didn't have a neurologist yet. So the first thing I would do is call the neurologistI hope this helps and you get the assistance you needJoe
