Thank you! I feel bumpy already... was over at bf's house crying easily. Coping skillys only half working. Lately I have been reading to occupoy my mind and even that my BF says I do too much of! I just started the first of the med changes tonight... upping the lithium a bit. Well let's put it this way about the insurance: I ask what the med will cost without it and depakote was 200 plus dollars U.S. With my state insurance it was zero. The pharmacies here sometimes will give common generic versions of drugs so that's how I got my celexa for 4 dollars. The lithium was 12 so that wasn't bad. But as for depakote I am relyinig on this small sample and hope it works out. I freaked out at the thought of having to just stop my meds cold turkey. Not a pretty picture. Asthma meds are expensive, too- but at least I have some rescue iinhalers laying around and a couple preventative ones still.
