I'm bipolar 2 also. I also take Abilify, and several others. It is so expensive. Canada has a generic version of it. I have gotten it from there several times. it was like $120 for 3 months supply. Is the other med your pdoc mentioned possibly Lamictal? I take that too. There is a generic for it. It works well for me. And so does the Abilify. Hope you start feeling well soon.
