I am just wondering what some of you guys do. Strattera isn't covered under my insurance and as a college student I certainly couldn't afford it. I see a psychiatrist that specializes in ADD and they give me my supply of Strattera until my next appointment. I am just wondering what the rest of you do? Does your insurance cover it, or do you pay for it, or have a similar set up to mine?

If you qualify, some pharmaceutical companies (and I don't know if Strattera is made by one of them) have deep discounts for patients. You usually have to have no prescription coverage in your medical insurance to qualify -- but not always.

Strattera is manufactured by Eli Lilly. Here is its page on Direct Patient Assistance. There's a "Lilly Cares" program for needy patients.

sidetrackdinva,
you are a peach. Thank you for looking the info up -- I should have done it, rather than just giving vague advice.
