Once I get my prescription indemnity thingumy sorted (confirmation of having too little money to afford my monthly scripts!), if I found myself being in need of other meds that were available over the counter, I'd definately ask if it were possible for it to be prescribed, and I know my doc would do it - she's great The way I figure is that if it's been deemed that you should not have to pay then surely it makes sense to get all such things included?
