Infidelity Support Group

oh crap. totally in the wrong support group. this was supposed to go in the bipolar support group. sorry!

What are you taking? This will help me answer your questions. Of course, I am not a doctor, but this may help me give you better advise.

I see we posted at the same time! Good luck!

Is there a generic that you may be able to afford. Can you talk to a social worker and see if they know of programs that help in your area.
I know that Montel Williams supports some kind of program'
Get on the web and look for sites that can help, AstraZeneca is one that I can think of. I know there are several more. Your doctor writes the prescription and you fill out a application mail it in they normally accept and then mail you the meds. I will try to call around to people I know that use these programs and message you. During the mean while call your doctor and let him know the situation and ask for samples to hold you over.

i do actually take the generic version, but I can't even afford that. We're really really broke.

Can you not get samples from your PDOC? They sometimes can help you with that. Give them a call.

Linda, not sure if I can get samples or not. No harm in trying I guess

Contact the drug manufacturer. They often have programs for low income users to get the meds. for free or at a greatly reduced price. My sister in law is bipolar and low income and she gets most of her meds for free and the rest for next to free.

If you can cut them inhalf do that until you can get more...do not go cold turkey
