I'm still not quite right. Whether it's the meds or not, I don't know today. I was diagnosed in 2003, resisted treatment for several years. In 2004 I was put on lithium which helps a lot, but took awhile for me to be med compliant. I'm now med compliant, but am either super sensitive to a med or it does nothing at all. It's tough trying new meds. I've tried lots of meds, but a good portion were samples or generics. I don't think I've paid over $20 for a psych med ever. Right now, I take Pristiq and it's free because of the company's patient assistance program. I take lithium and haloperidol and diazepam which are all less than $4/mo because I get larger doses and cut them or just get the max allowed at that price and don't take all of them. That's it for the purely psych meds. Under $20 - I'm not complaining. Of course, I have medical meds too, but I'd say it all averages out to under $35/mo. Do drug trials supply the medication after the trial ends? I'd guess not, and I would hate to find something that works for it to be taken away again. And I'd never abandon the rest of my meds, mainly the lithium. ∞ Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? (L. M. Montgomery)
