Good luck with this, Toni &hearts It really, really sucks that you can't afford your previous medication. I hate the US system in these sort of things. Move to Finland, here the Social Insurance Institution pays a big part of your meds and if you still can't afford it, you get them for free with the help of Social Services.
Yeah, and the generic, cheaper versions of medications they offer for substitutes are terrible sometimes. Like, the generic (Latmotrigine) of the medication called Lamictal I was taking was maybe about half as effective as the name brand. And even that was still expensive. It makes me sick. My whole life's been turned upside down.
Finland sounds so nice in so many ways. Wish I could come see you.
An open letter to Lithium Carbonatewitch_huntJuly 28 2010, 17:22:10 UTC
Hey hon I've been on lithium and barf. Headaches were horrible. Did not help at all.. Plus my levels got almost lethal. I know everyones different but I would find another drug!
Oh lord, I couldn't do that. I'm fat enough as it is, thanks, I'd just fucking shoot myself if I saw the scale zoom up another 5 lbs. I hope things work out!
