It is ridiculously complicated because the hospital I go to has a policy against drs. accepting samples or anything else from drug reps. They can get samples if there is an unusual situation like a patient who can't afford the med to try but would get it through patient assistance if it worked. But none of the reps actually gave us samples last year when I was in that situation. So I couldn't try a couple of new meds before going on clozaril. Clozaril worked out fine and the only problem is that I've gained weight but now they want to make me pay a ton for that when I might have been able to get latuda or Saphris for free. (but I do respect the hospital's policy).

such a mess....
