in reply to @jakedduck1 Thank you very much. I understand your point, however, I am in the Medicare Donut Hole in terms of my prescription drugs, and I would imagine that using a compounding pharmacy would be too costly for me. I fell into the hole after filling some new migraine medication twice, until my copay went up 300 percent. Luckily, I have a good doctor who gives me sample when I need them and until I can afford the $150 copay.

Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer and see if you qualify for more affordable medication.
There is a seizure medicine that costs about $32,000 a year but some receive it for $20.00 or so a month.
Your copay is outrageous.
I hope something works out for you. Medicare has a plan called “The Extra Help program.” It helps with medication, copays and deductibles. However, that program doesn't help with compounded drugs as I understand it.
Take care,
Jake
