mari, since you have tried so many other AD's, maybe your pdoc can tell the insurance company this info and get an authorization to pay for the new med. Does this make sense?

Yes, of course.
But I do not want to take it for so many reasons -- mostly that I am not interested in the med merry-go-round. M |

Mari,
I don't blame you for not wanting to take a med that doesn't have a long track record, or being weary of taking new meds at all  The insurance company may authorize a new med, but that doesn't mean it will be affordable, and there's no way around that. I know that from experience. I was discharged from the psych ward the second time on Abilify before a generic was available. I had a $300 deductible, and it cost me over $500/mo on top of that  My pdoc gave me samples after that, but just filling that ONE prescription put me in the Medicare donut hole. And in the end, it did not break my manic episode. |

My brothers and sister and I periodically chat in a group text. Sister reads but
does not respond much. Brother Number 2 complained about the texts from the brother number 1 waking him up and the number 1 brother said I woke him up once. It was more or less agreed that we would communicate via FB so brothers would not be awakened. I created a group and sent a good morning FB group message to the brothers and sister (sis will ignore it but she will read it.) We'll see how the FB plan goes. M |

1) The FB thing didn't work.
=-= 2) Sis and I then started a group text that the boys ignored. =-= 3) Then brother number 1 sent a group text about whatever b.s. he is up to and admonished me not to text back at 4:00 in the morning. And sis reminded brother number 1 to stop texting at 9:00 p.m. due to brother number 2 wanting to sleep. =-= <<Sis and I either have the phone sounds off at night or keep the phones far from where we are sleeping.>> The brothers apparently sleep with the phones near their ears. =-= SO WE ARE BACK TO WHAT WE WERE DOING WITH BROTHER NUMBER 1 BEING IN CHARGE OF COMMUNICATIONS.
