Tomorrow, and rest of week
 
Tomorrow I go to my regular doctor for a check up.

I went to get my blood work done today. Even explained
to the girl because its the one that takes Derrick's a lot of
the time.

About my fobia of having blood taken. We had a nice talk.
She even complimented me on how I did.

Anyway tomorrow, I see primary. I am going to try and switch
anxiety meds. I can't afford cymbalta without insurance.

And even though my husband thought we had it again. Its not
gone into effect yet. So there is no way to know until the 15th
if its going to happen.

I also need to call and schedule with the migraine doctor because
I take the generic for imitrex. Can't afford $500.00 for 9 pills either.

Ugh, its time to change a couple of things I guess.

Have to also ask my pharmacist how much topamax is. I had enough
to last a while. I really stretched it somehow. But will be out soon.

So life is going to make it impossible to not buy two new meds again.

My personal life is okay, I'm working a lot. Till the last two weeks,
when I seem to have crashed and just stopped. So I am working
on making sure my families are okay.

And will be ready the first of the year.

Dear Donna,

You do great work with your families.

Topamax is available in generic. Cymbalta is not. Maybe your doctor can find something similar.

Dmom3005 12-12-2011 11:32 PM

Yes I take the generic for topamax. I can't ever spell it.


I have been trying to research for a alternative to cymbalta.

I have not found something yet.

Donna, :grouphug:


I don't think that there is a good match for Cymbalta. Maybe you can talk to your pharmacist. My pharmacist had some good ideas when I needed help like that.

Dmom3005 12-13-2011 08:32 AM

Yes Mari,

From what I have been able to determine Cymbalta doesn't have a
good match. Nothing close.

I am not sure what I will do. Thinking it through.

Okay, I am going on Celexa. I think its spelled. Of course the generic.

I was waiting almost 2 hours for the doctor. He is thorough with all patients,
and hospital times. So it takes a while.

But sure hate the time. So I didn't get to pharmacy too. Will hopefully
tomorrow, but that is according to how Will feels.

Good luck with the celexa...I hope it helps you.

Picked it up. And the other two prescriptions.

Not very happy. Seems the pharmacy didn't think to tell me.
That is I had 600mg pills for the gabapentin it would be a lot
cheaper. Gosh what a bunch of money I could have saved.

I needed more anyway. Just hated to think of more I was spending.

I will probably not be going back to pain doctor as long as this works.

Will think on this for a while.

I also paid uh, $3.00 for the celexa, guess I should have asked my
doctor earlier. He seems to know. Wow. I am impressed with this.

And then of course my simvasting.

Also thought I would add very tired. But Will did great, other than
he didn't want to drink for a while. But got it done. After I sent
mom, for some food. She needed to not be there when nurse and
I started to kind of force it. He had slushie type cherry drink.

He did wonderful, he was batman. And is now home with mom.
