Hi everyone!

I was diagnosed with borderline bipolar about 4 years ago. I take generic Zoloft once a day, 100 mgs. and find the name brand works best for me but can't get my insurance company to pay the difference. I would have to get my dr. to fill out lots of forms and stuff to possibly get the name brand approved. Unfortunately, I've been on the generic for a couple/three years now and doubt the insurance company would approve it now. Anyone else take this medicine or similar one and have/had the same issue? I could really use advice on it because the name brand does so much better for me than the generic. It helps me sleep better, calms my panic/anxiety attacks more, plus I don't seem to have as many mood swings. I think it helps my agrophobia more also. I wonder if maybe the dr. could add another med to go with it that might make up the difference but I already take so many meds between these issues and having fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, IBS, and the list goes on and on.

Hold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you've lost a diamond
While you were too busy collecting stones."
