That sounds like a pretty crappy situation Wayfarer I hope that venting helped. As for advice: I'm not very assertive myself, so I find that when I have to say something difficult to my pdoc it helps to write it down and just give them the letter. Maybe that would work for you?

I got pretty agitated or mixed or whatever on Abilify/aripiprazole, but I found that it went away after a week or two at the same dose. I know you can't afford it (which totally sucks that you have to pay so much for your meds) so that probably doesn't make much difference to you, but it's worth bearing in mind while you wait to see pdoc.

I hope that you can find something soon that works, doesn't cost much and doesn't have bad side effects (a wonder drug!) as the med merry-go-round is no fun!
