I go after the ODT and liquid versions because I actually take them. I don't think about it/worry about it all day and take them.
Your always screwing up your already difficult budget Unfortunately it's because it's so tight. I honestly wish there was someway we would just get a weekly amount after bills were out.
Saphis My pdoc didn't mention that one. I'm fine with going back on the higher dose ODT of zyprexa. we'll see.
I would certainly crush pills for him especially if it helps him stay stable. I'm thinking of asking my parents to barrow the money for the meds until I see my pdoc again.

Many times old combos can work again it’s just how your brain reacts, and how current drugs have changed your brain chemicals.
As for your budget omg I hear you. Simple way to help is buy a gift card for yourself at a place you may shop , Walmart perhaps? Load a weeks of food money on it.
Savealot doesnt offer them. But take each weeks food budget amount in actual cash and put in 4 different envelopes and seriously only take that amount with you so you just can’t overspend if you get EBT it won’t work but you can still seriously limit food cost weekly.
Make a list and stick to it , period. I know certain food I will use all the time , stock up on those item, canned veggies, pasta, rice ,etc
As for other stuff toilet paper etc plan for that also .. you know you will use TP, shampoo etc each month buy it at the beginning of the month, then you will have it on hand.
It’s hard to stick to a budget , but I had to learn that I just can’t overspend.
I might not like having rice and beans 5 times a month or more but it’s a cheap hearty meal.
I freak out if I can’t put 25-30 bucks away a month for an emergency, but I’d rather have a few dollars than freak out because we have nothing.
I had to learn how to live off what we get. Totally sucks not having money for things. I do not go online even to just browse amazon for instance, too easy to buy something.
I have lots of I “ wants “ but when I take care of the “ needs” I just feel less stress.
Life shouldn’t be so hard but it is.
Glad your ok with your husband taking care of you meds.
You can manage your finances if you just make a budget and not overspend. I have faith in you
Sorry if the above skips around I already took my nite meds lol
