Great suggestions Mari (( hugs )) Thank you !!

I presented my new psych doc this morning with my laundry list of complaints with him. He changed his tune quickly when he saw it. I made him sit and read it. He then did spend the time brainstorming over every single behavioral health med I have taken in the past and compared that with the GenoMind report I got back two sessions ago.

We have agreed to start me on Lamictal (again), picking it up tomorrow. He's starting me out at a half of a 25 mg tablet. Going to start Lamictal (or the generic of this drug) tomorrow evening.

All of the new medications on the market now are in Tier IV and Tier V and there are no generics for a long time with these meds, so I am stuck with the older generation. I am looking into patient assistance but since I have Medicare, none of them will help me with the newer meds on the market now. I need to look thru the link another member sent me on the list of pharmas that do work with Medicare patients on certain medications, but those are older generations. I am getting patient assistance on my migraine medication called AIMOVIG but that is time limiting - one year only.

All the teaching hospitals/small psych hospitals and other hospitals have dropped my medicare advantage plan. To go out of network would cause me a co-pay of $800.00.

And yes, he's the one who prescribed the "clean medicine" called Rexulti that caused severe confusion. I had the rage attacks on Seroquel in Walgreens.
