This happened to me too! I had a pdoc who kept on pushing non generics on me. She was totally pushy about latuda. Even after I told her multiple times that I couldn't afford it and could only afford generics. I was getting so pissed off and annoyed. Every appointment I had to remind her, and it was like she didn't care. I don't make, I don't know, $300 dollars an hour like she does. I can't afford a med that's going to cost me $100 each month.

Plus, I want to be on generics anyway, just in case I lose my insurance again.
