It was not taken lightly (it's taken us 10 years to finally try) and I can't imagine having to turn around and fight for the right medication just because it's more expensive. Thank goodness your GP finally saw sense - I hope it's easier for you from here on in.Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645347058596682545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-12647922657360923192018-02-26T04:47:29.117-08:002018-02-26T04:47:29.117-08:00So sorry you've had to fight for this - sounds...So sorry you've had to fight for this - sounds stressful.

I know here in the Netherlands, we have something called preferred treatment, where insurance companies are allowed to decide which brand they prefer and only cover that brand. They can even switch preferred brands as often as they want I believe, meaning you'll get different pills often. There may be exceptions when for example a patient is allergic to an additive, but I find the whole thing rather annoying. I mean, I understand insurers have an interest too, but like you describe, some brands just work differently even if they have the same active ingredient. I'm so glad now Anthony finally got his proper medication brand. #SpectrumSundayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-31043694594282660882018-02-24T16:26:30.071-08:002018-02-24T16:26:30.071-08:00It's bad enough having to deal with the actual...It's bad enough having to deal with the actual difficulties (due to the adhd and autism) without having to fight the doctors over which brand of medicine you should be getting... especially since as you say, this is something that has been trialled out with great care, to find the right substance and dosis. I hope you won't have to fight with them over this again. x<br />#KCACOLSSensational Learning with Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722372510407260358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-40195899469631640452018-02-24T12:42:11.195-08:002018-02-24T12:42:11.195-08:00They shouldn't be allowed to change the bran w...They shouldn't be allowed to change the bran without letting you know!

Hopefully you won't have to continue fighting for you need for him. Thanks so much for linking to #KCACOLS.

My goodness, my heart goes out to you. Medicine, doctors, costs and bottom lines should not be more important than the people who need them, like your beautiful little one. I am glad you have things sorted out, and I only hope for a smoother course ahead. #kcacols xoxoLisa Pomerantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508476122467360712noreply@blogger.com
