First, I'm feeling better than I have in weeks, don't know why but not going to question it.

Denise, I was really sorry to hear you are going to have to go off your meds because of financial reasons. When I was first diagnosed, it was, of all things, in the state mental health system, not the fancy docs when I had gobs of insurance, but in a system that goes by what you make, which at the time was $0. My medications were free (the ones for bipolar).

Since that time in 1995, I've gotten on disability and now have Medicare Part D that pays for my meds ($4 for 3 months worth by mail, and that's ALL my generic meds, not just the bipolar ones. The Seroquel (not a generic yet) is $42 but my pdoc writes the prescription so I will have plenty to last a while without having to pay $42/month). I'm still in the state system, the pdoc is only $8, the nurse is free, and the groups are free (and I have SSDI, and a small parttime job).

So here are two options for you. I hope at least one will help you. Take care. I wish you well.
