Has it ever happened to any of you, that you need your meds, but they are first being authorized by your insurance before you can receive them? I have been off my meds for a long painful time now. And it's getting to be too much. My diagnosis is Bipolar 2, rapid cycling, with mixed episodes. I'm just feeling really out of my mind right now. I think I may have waited too long to reach out for help. It was really hard to do. But after I spoke with my psychiatrist, I felt that relief was coming soon, and so I was bearing it, just barely. Now that my pharmacist has called to tell me that they require authorization from my insurance first, I feel desperate that I will never get help. What if they don't get authorized for some reason? What will I do then? I have spoken with my psychiatrists assistant and she informed me it usually takes a couple of days for approval. That was Wednesday. This is Saturday and I'm just feeling so overwhelmed and desperate. I don't know what to do and I feel very anxious about the whole thing. Any advice?
