I had stopped taking my meds in October because the prescription coverage capped, and I would have to pay 100% of all my meds (over $1800). I dropped Medicare Part B in October and my husbands group coverage picked up in December.

Unfortunately, with their coverage you have to pay for all scripts up front and then mail away for reimbursement. I went to see a P doc Friday (had saw him several times before). I explained I had been off my meds for quite a while and why. I've been in some very deep dark places that my family doesn't even know about.

He gave me scripts for Lithium, Depakote, Zyprexa and Klonopin. I had them filled immediately, and some were covered under my old plan, I only have to pay a bit over $400.

I asked "him" how he thought I was doing since taking my meds religiously Friday. His answer was I'm acting like a stoner. I was floored. What the heck is a stoner? He said I am walking around like a zombie. I continue to keep up with housework, chores, kids homework, and personal hygience. Am I missing something?

Maybe I am more social, I dunno know!
