I really hope you can find a way to stay on your meds. It is so wrong that you have to pay so much for hospitalisation. It should be free when necessary.

I have 4 days of pills left out of 14 I got for free from the hospital. Then I will have to go to the pharmacy and see if they will let me have the other 14 the voucher covers (it was for 28 days total). After that, I don't know. I don't see a psychiatrist until next month. This medication doesn't have a generic yet so I might just have to try something else. The insurance did cover a lot of the cost of the hospital, but the copay is $150 per day and I was there almost a week. I'm upset about it because I never even asked to be in the hospital and knew I couldn't afford it.
