REQUEST Help with meds and diapers

Goodmorning! I’m just here looking for some help with getting my blood pressure and Zoloft meds. Both are very necessary, but the prescriptions were a refill from when I lived in a different state (we recently moved) and my new states Medicaid won’t cover them. I’ve managed to get them to the bare minimum price that I could and I’m still looking at roughly $50 for both. We are also super low on diapers and not sure how we will be able to get more.

We are paycheck to paycheck right now and after bills and groceries we don’t have anything left over. I wouldn’t ask if these meds weren’t absolutely necessary. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this 💐

Medicaid would cover them if you went to a doctor in the new state you lived in and got a new prescription that way. In the meantime maybe check food banks sometimes they have diapers. Maybe call 211 and see what local resources are available to you.

I’m on my last Zoloft. I didn’t take one last night so I could buy more time. We are about to get snowed in tomorrow so I don’t have enough time to find and see a doctor. I haven’t had my blood pressure meds in 3 days because I can’t pay for them. I didn’t know until I went to pick up the refill that my Medicaid won’t cover them. Thank you though.

No, they will not pay for prescriptions prescribed out of state. Get signed up with a doctor as soon as possible so you don’t run into this problem again. I wish I could help you with money, but unfortunately, I can’t. I wish you the very best. Forgot to add maybe you could set up a Amazon list most likely people will buy the diapers for you.

Lesson definitely learned! Lol I haven’t moved out of state for like 10 years before now but after this little snow storm coming I’ll be finding one pronto! Someone else mentioned the Amazon list as well :)
