    On your ins you can try to fight it. Have your Doc write a letter explaining what or how it helps your IC. Most times....not saying all the time, but that helps. Now they may not cover all of it, but maybe if they understood how it helps then maybe you can get it coverd. You know how you can FIGHT a claim...this is the same well kinda same way u do this. And if nothing else, ask to speak with who ever is in charge and go as high as you can and ask that person for and how to get this med approved for you.

    The only other thing I got is to go threw the Lyrica program and see if you can get it there.

    In the mean time ask your doc to give you samples if possible.

    I'm sorry that's all I have for you, I hope it works out for you. Happy Holidays and take care

      Your doctor should be able to help you get it approved. The insurance company has a list of medications they cover and it takes a special approval to get anything else. Usually a physician's letter is adequate.

        Costco! Most prescriptions are way cheaper there.
