i was diagnosed with asthma about 6 years ago, at the time i had insurence so everything was good however, things happened and i lost my insurance, the cost of my meds have gone up and i had to quit my job and move back to my home town and take a major pay cut, i moved home to care for my grandmother. anyway i dont know how i can do it one medication alone is around $150 I HAVENT BEEN able to get my albuteral inhaler since when they changed them they almost doubled in price and i go through them alot quicker. i have resorted to using primatine mist inhalers (that i get over the counter) anyone have any advice?

I second all that as well. Also, some states have drugs programs for people that make under a certain amount. And since there is no longer a generic albuterol here in the states, that one is tough...I think $36 is the cheapest I've fond it here.
