I’m tired of taking 8 pills in the morning and night time. I’m sick of Drs and pharmacy’s telling me my Vimpat (AED) that’s finally working is now a class narcotic and I can’t get it out of state. I have to get a local neurologist because my epilepsy specialist in Springfield,MO. Couldn’t send my prescription to CA. But then my med insurance isn’t any good in CA and I live in Mo.

So...I run out of meds and I’m screwed...what’s wrong with this system?
