Everything else is increasing in price right now, so what about the meds that you take? Are you struggling yet to pay for them, or still coping ok?

I'm doing okay but that's because I have decent prescription coverage through my health insurance. Those who don't have that may be having issues, though. I haven't heard of any price hikes yet but the prices are so high already, the economy probably doesn't even really effect it.

The only meds I take on a regular basis, I take the OTC version, generic, rather than the prescription because it would cost me more to go through my plan, stupidly.

So far I've not seen any increases.

No, as the site I deal with has an offshore model. As the U.S. dollar starts going back up, they've actually dropped some of their prices.

I currently don't take much medication but when I do, or I buy for my son, the cost is increasing, I am still coping though, especially medication is a must when needed.

I see many people worried about this now and you know that Walmart deal with meds for less than normal price? I have yet to see any that work for those with HIV/AIDS, such a sad case, what can be done?

Walmart's $4 formulary list is only for certain medications, though. I have yet to need one that was on the list. It's not just Walmart, either. A lot of places are doing the same thing but are not advertising it so be sure to ask.

Right now I have only a couple of things that I take and most are OCT and rare at that. Some though in the past have not been covered by insurance and it was a true kicker.
