When I was all kindsa agitated, my pdoc prescribed a low dose of generic risperidone, to take as-needed/prn. well...that didn't go over well. 1st they denied it, then the pharmacy filled the risperidone w/ coverage but wanted cash for the abilify, and...ugh. it took a while to fix that mess. so, i guess I'm saying...if your coverage is anything like mine, you might want to simplify the situation and try to get the seroquel on a cash pay basis, or ask your doctor about a night time sedative that isn't a tranquilizer/antipsychotic.

sorry about all this. hope this helps. :-)
Thanks and actually that's a good point because in any case, the Seroquel isn't working like before for sleep, so I may end up with a non-AP sleep aid anyway. Hope that increases my chances!
