I hope your pdoc can find something for you that does not make you crave sugar. If you find that your doctor has a medication he or she recommends that is not covered by medicare, you might try seeing if needy meds covers it. You can actually download a free card at psych central
Announcing the Psych Central Drug Discount Card | World of Psychology I have used it to get coverage for something that medicare does not cover. You can go to needymeds to see if a specific drug is covered by them. And its all free. Nothing to buy.
As for sugar, I totally hear you. I stay far away from it. What I noticed is that when I ate anything that resembled sugar it made me crave a lot of different foods. I think it made me crave simple carbs. Even potato and corn etc. So I consider sugar, honey, agave etc to be forbidden foods for me. I am glad you know to not go off of medications. But rather to try to find one that will not make you crave sugar. Smart.... cookie
Okay, bad choice of words.

Now I'm waiting for my pdoc to call in either zyprexa or seroquel which medicare covers. Since going off the abilify I don't feel near the same intense cravings for sugar and carbs. I like fruit smoothies when I wast a sweet fix. *** I'm NOT condoning going off anti-psychotics or other drugs, but for me it was worth switching to a different brand.
Peace,
