Fwiw, I'm on rexulti too, but I'm living off samples since my insurance won't cover it.
In essence, my insurance argues that the med "is only approved for scizophrenia and major depressive disorder," which means they're not even considering off-label use of it. So I presume they're just giving reasons to avoid paying it (since it's expensive), even though I can't take any pines (quetiapine, olanzapine, asenapine, clozapine...) since they increase my cholesterol. And I've tried abilify and latuda already. So the only options left (besides rexulti) are typicals, but my pdoc won't prescribe typicals. That leaves me with rexulti.
But anyways, enough rambling... My point is that I'm sure you can work something out with your pdoc, as most pdocs seem to be cool about it. They know it's hard to afford meds sometimes, and they know that your body chemistry well enough, or so to speak. That's why mine is being nice about it.
I'm not saying to give up with the teaching situation, but just saying that there are ways around the insurance bullsh_t if worst comes to worst.
As far as money goes, worst case, substitute teaching. It's a good fall back imo if you are willing to consider renewing your certificate/license. And the best part about substitute teaching is that you don't necessarily have to work everyday. So you can do substitute teaching while you find an admin assistant job
