My psychiatrist person gave me a prescription for Geodan.
This woman is clearly out of Her mind.
I told her I don't have any money really. I am serious about starting a medication/therapy commitment to discuss/resolve/cope and evolve.
She gave me 30tabs, 20mg each and a twice a day dosage.
This means it is only for 2 weeks. I'm not stupid, I know a medication/therapy commitment is a long endeavor, months maybe years...
I called into the pharmacy to get a price later in the day after I left her office:
$160!!!!!
That's for only 15days!
There's no way I can afford that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So... I was hoping someone here could give me some suggestions to give my Doc about other medications I could take that won't cost me a billion dollars.
Generic's are fine with me, unfortunately this medication doesn't come in a generic form, it's new.
I've been diagnosed with:
Borderline Personality
Bi-polar Disorder
Depression
Racing Thoughts
Anxiety
Blah blah blah...
Who knows what I really have or if anyone can really fit neatly into any one of these disorders.
But basically that's what I've heard the Professionals say about me.
I need something that I can really use to help give me 'breathing room' to re-evaluate things and adjust myself so that I don't do the same shit over and over again...
It also has to be cheap-ish and/or has a generic that is affordable.
So, anyone have any suggestions?
