There is also pparx.org - sort of a clearinghouse for prescription assistance programs - where you can search by the name of the medications.

Let her doctor's office know you haven't been able to fill it so they can get samples the next time the rep for that company is in the office. I learned this waiting in the doctor's office one day. I heard a nurse tell a drug rep that she needed samples of one particular med. The rep had the med with her, and after she left, the nurse called the patient to come and pick it up.

I was going to indicate searching out this type of help myself and thankfully someone has the details needed to get you headed in the right direction. PLease do reiterate the need to stay away from anything with caffeine, even colas and chocolate. She may be on overload right now. I glad to hear she is home and obviously improving. Yea!
