I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems, Jen.Most pharmacies will fill part of a prescription for you, so you can get a couple of days worth and only pay for that, and then if the drug works for you, go back and get the rest of it later. Depending on your insurance coverage, sometimes this doesn't save you money, like if you have a flat fee copay, you might as well get the whole thing. But when I was waiting for my insurance to kick in at my job, I filled a 90-day prescription for Claritin a 3-4 weeks at a time, which was easier to take than paying $100 for the whole thing. But the mail-order place charges me a flat fee, so I get 90 days worth at a time, regardless of whether I've tried the medicine yet.Vioxx made me too sleepy. I tried it once for menstrual cramps (with samples
) and it might have helped the pain a little better than my usual Naproxen, but made me a lot sleepier/loopier. I'm fine with the Naproxen as long as I take it with food every time, but there is a big difference to the gut between taking it 3 days a month and taking it more often.
