Trying not to cry and trying not to get discouraged.  Secondary health insurance is denying Zach's Prozac.  It took many years before Zach was on any type of medication.  When puberty hit, that changed.  He tried about 3 before a generic Prozac that Walmart used worked to decrease life-disruptive OCD and other behaviors which interfered with daily life.  Walmart switched their provider and we noticed immediate reemergence of destructive behaviors and OCD.  I went in search of the old generic brand at ALL of the local (and by local I mean within 25 miles) pharmacies to no avail... then we tried a handful of generics, none of which worked.  Finally got the ok for name-brand Prozac, which brought him back to an even keel.  We just switched our secondary (Health Families) insurance in order to keep our pediatrician.  and HERE WE GO AGAIN.  The co-pay isn't doable if we just ignore the secondary insurance.  Praying for a good holiday season while this gets sorted out again.  Holidays are rough enough on Zach.  We will get through this but I feel for poor Zach who has to be a guinea pig.  Thank you for your prayers.
