Try seeing if they have other sizes in stock, then ask your doctor to adjust your prescription to match. Like if you normally take 10mg and they have 5s or 20s in stock, ask your doctor to rewrite the script from "one 10mg pill" to "two 5mg pills" or "one-half a 20mg pill".

Then the insurance comes in with a refusal because twice the quantity of half the dosage costs more money 🤦

Our insurance system sucks in general, and sometimes they’ll deny certain meds entirely, but I have never had insurance give me a hard time about changing dosages of a medication.

Try GoodRx instead of your main prescription insurance.
