Sorry this is a long reply: I have BCBS through my husband's employer. I pay $150 'co-pay' for a 90-day supply through mail order and then I get reimbursed the full amount. I also take Lamotrigine $45 co-pay for a 90-day supply and get reimbursed. I can't complain. In my situation, my husband is looking for another job, and I (we) need to be covered during that period when we are without insurance. We are looking into government insurance programs -- Texas has a pool of insurance companies that offer temporary private insurance and then there is Obamacare Yikes! Still researching my insurance options.

I have an eating disorder so I asked for Latuda. I had taken Seroquel and put on 20 lbs over 2 years, it really dumbed me down and I could not tolerate the higher doses to treat mania and psychosis. I have heard that other anti-psychotics have the same fog effect, so I don't want to stop taking Latuda it works great for me I have my life back. Don't know if it helps with mania but I have stable since taking it. It does bother me that I am taking a drug that hasn't been around all that long--guess I'll keep my eyes open for the lawsuit commercials. We are all guinea pigs. Hope I answered your questions.
