United Healthcare rant: They are "making" me pay $125 for 10mg and $50 for 5mg for a combined one month supply of Trintellix (which my doc prescribed instead of something more typical because of concerns about interactions with my various health issues) -- they wouldn't fill a 10mg Rx in the amount that would have me splitting the pills; had to get two separate Rxs. So, that's $175 per month in Rx copay or whatever it's called. With BCBS, it was $30 and they allowed the pill and a half method. Total money grab on UHC's part. Vultures.
Anyway -- due to the preauthorization hoops, I've been off of it for more than two weeks and, frankly, haven't noticed a difference. DH's company switched from UHC to Cigna as of September 1, so I'm not going to fill it, and I'm going to talk to my doctor about whether I need to be on anything right now, but... I don't even know how Cigna will treat it, but I'm just so effing mad -- because I know a minor issue for me is magnified a thousandfold for some people in much more dire medical and financial situations, and it's so maddening.

Jen I have to do that with my antidepressant, fill it as two separate doses and pay twice. It’s obnoxious but only like $20 so not the worst. Still rude though, but since my migraine meds (old and generic!) are $180 it’s not tops on my list.
