Question

Answer 1

I would talk to your doctor, a lot of times they either have trials/samples of the medications that Drug reps give them to promote their drug.  Your doctor can give you enough pills to get you through this gap or can usually work with you to get you a discounted price for the meds.  I would talk to your doc first and explain the situation that you are in, he'll/she'll be glad to help you!  

Mine gives me, what i like to call, "freebies" a lot of the times just to either get me through until my prescription can be filled or if its something that you only take a few times, so that i dont even have to have a prescription filled!  It really helps when things are tight!!

Good Luck

Depends on your insurance plan, you'll have to contact them to find out

Answer 4

as far as i know, insurance plans only consider charges (such as prescriptions, doctor visits, etc,) if they occur while under the coverage. Walmart has a rx plan that is cheap. i've seen advertising on tv for other pharmacies that give discounts on rxs too. call cvs and walmart pharmacies and see what they offer.

Answer 5
