Hi Sean, Sorry to hear you are having troubles. But don't get too excited 
about it being a lot better when you change. My Father recently had a seious 
heart operation with some complications. They gave him prescriptions when he 
got out of the hospital. They were then adjusted over the days and weeks 
after he got home. Some of his regular prescriptions were doubled, so they 
told him to take 2 pills instead of one. Well as time went by they lowered 
the dose again. when he went back in to get refills, the insruance company 
said no and we can't give it to him as he already recieved the alotted 
amount. No matter how he fought with the drug store or the insurance company. 
He could not get the pills he needed. which were critical at this stage of 
his care for his heart. He finally had to go to the doctor and raise holy 
hell, to get them to give him another prescription for the wrong strength 
just so he could get a (new prescription). And they were mad, well, it WAS 
the dr. who told him to double the dose and then decreased it in the first 
place. The insurance Companies are becoming too powerful and controling, even 
to the point of stupidity.
