Hi,

Please don't move this post to prescription drugs; I've already posted there. I was on Abilify - $400 a month with medicare. I can not afford that so I quit taking my drugs. My pdoc just wrote a script for a generic Geodon and it costs $200 a month with medicare. That is about half of my ssdi check. I can not qualify for a patient script card or use the psych central med card. I've heard seroquel costs $90 a month but causes weight gain I tried rispordal and it didn't work

Does anyone here use a generic anti-psychotic for bipolar I that does not cost hundreds of dollars???

I greatly appreciate any responses as I feel like never buying an anti-psychotic again and just taking my chances. If I get manic then I can take it as that is really the only time I would need the stupid pills.

Sorry for the anger, but I'm just $%&# fed up with big pharma

TnT
