RRU96, that is a great idea -- it gives you something that moves in a helpful direction that doesn't involve those issues that are confusing to you at the moment -- a perfect way of building some momentum. Good for you!

This talk of patient assistance brings to mind a question... my ex-P-doc (I moved am moving again this week and don't have one currently) said that they are for brand name meds which don't have a generic. Is this true? (I'd be thrilled to find out it isn't as I'm on Lamictal and am quite anxious about being able to afford it (many life changes that put my abillity to afford it --and the generic is not much cheaper --in jeopardy.) Thinker22, you are so right in saying options help ease the mind, because feeling we don't is so very stressful!

Wishing you the very best in your research, RRU96. Hehe, those of us with bipolar sure can get into researching and in addition to all the info to be found, it has the added benefit of helping to keep our minds occupied. Keep us posted, ok?
