In August when I was IP one of the ideas was to change me from one MAOI to another. At the time I used the online form for my insurance and it said the meds weren't covered and I'd have to pay $50/month with a coupon.
I've been planning to change to a different insurance that covers the other 2 MAOIs when the plans change in January. But since that didn't take care of things now I knew that I was probably facing hospitalization for ECT or to go on clozaril. Today I looked at my updated formulary for the same insurance I'm on and it includes both drugs. I used the online thing again and discovered I had pushed the wrong button and they were covered all along. Meaning that I might have prolonged this because of an error. I still have no idea what will happen when I see my pdoc tomorrow. I still do not feel that I necessarily want to do another drug trial because we keep doing those and they keep not working. And if I'm likely to need to be hospitalized soon I have about 10 days to get in there before my no-deductible period expires. I may have to go in to change MAOIs, I don't know. But I still can't help wondering if ECT would be better than trying yet another drug; this would give us the option of doing something different after ECT which I know was a concern. But I don't want ECT needlessly either. I just want to feel better. Which is exactly why it is so stupid that I can't read a simple webpage that clearly said it was covered at $3.00/month.

At least you caught the error. Good job! Doesn't sound stupid to me.

Maybe it wasn't you, maybe there was an error on the webpage? Don't beat yourself up! Take advantage of that no deductible period. You might as well give the MAOI a shot while you have the chance to be IP and make ECT your next goal if the new med doesn't work for you. Brighter days are ahead!
