The Orange County Register is asking its readers what strategies they use to keep drug expenditures down:

“The soaring costs of prescription drugs have led some health plans to require mail-order prescriptions or limit what medications are covered. The Register wants to hear how readers have coped with changes to their prescription drug benefits and escalating costs. Have you found creative ways to save costs? Have you skipped a medication against doctor’s orders? Do you ration your pills so your supply lasts longer?”

We encourage you to tell your story to Register health reporter Courtney Perkes at .
