Well, sparkle, luxuriating isn't exactly the word. I have laundry to do.  But I am going to a get together this evening that will be fun, hence the urgency of laundry. I have no clean jeans left to wear. Carmen, I'll check out the photos. I'm doing okay but for lack of sleep. I am fighting my insurance company over covering a prescription that they are not willing to cover. My pdoc has written a letter explaining why it's necessary that I get it, so hopefully it will persuade them. Coventry sucks. With God, all things are possible

is there a different med your doctor could prescribe that the idiots will fill? I've had trouble with insurance before over filling my antidepressants, they were worried about me getting pregnant..lol.. and being on that many (4 at the time),informed them that wasn't a concern, first you had to be sleeping with someone (I was single) and second I had my tubes tied..lol.. They filled it and I didn't have anymore problems with them. "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

No, we've tried everything under the sun. It's Ambien CR 12.5 MG, but the FDA has it approved for one a day and we found if I take two I will sleep at least 7 hours. I average 4 hours a night and have been for a very long time, before it I was getting around 2-3. They won't cover two. That's what we are fighting for. I can't afford the second one without insurance. With God, all things are possible

Good afternoon! How is everyone today? Everything I post is merely my opinion and should not to be construed as medical advice. I am not a doctor or a licensed therapist.
Bipolar I? (currently NOS but haven't been evaluated since last severe manic episode)
ADHD, PTSD, GAD
Abilify 30 mg Effexor XR 225 mg Trileptal 450 mg
"In my life, I have seen,
People walk into the sea,
Just to find memories,
Plagued by constant misery,
Their eyes cast down,
Fixed upon the ground,
Their eyes cast down
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun" -Cage the Elephant |

Carmen, it only comes in 12.5 MG dosage. We're asking them to cover 25 mg by taking 2. The FDA has approved one a day, but doctors often prescribe more than FDA levels on medications. It's the $$$ that's the issue here, not patient safety. Hello aeylania. How are you? With God, all things are possible

I'm doing alright. Finally have a day to relax, been really busy with school. I quit my writing job, though. It was interfering with my studies, which I can't afford. How are you?

Oh, that's a shame about your writing job. It's too bad you were unable to keep it up, but school definitely comes first and I can understand how it could take too much time away from study time. I'm okay, lack of sleep, as usual, but okay. Doing laundry. Still in my pj's because I have nothing to wear at the moment. With God, all things are possible

Sorry my dad called back. Yeah, I really, really wanted to keep up the writing but it was just stressing me out and I really bombed my first Calculus III test, so its for the best. I'm sorry you're not sleeping. Still fighting the insurance company? Everything I post is merely my opinion and should not to be construed as medical advice.
