legally they can't fire you if you have a "medical emergency". going to the hospital for any reason is considered medical emergency.

you just have to produce a dr's note saying you were in the hospital. you don't have to say why you went and what for

if they try to fire you afterward for some BS reason, then threaten to sue them because they can get sued for that

Please go in, raspberrytorte.
Consider this -- we are encouraging you to go. (Even before today's worsening.) We are not even there and think this. He is there. He knows your situation. And it doesn't keep him from thinking you should go in. I think you should trust him on this. He is trying to help you. Please let him.

I am not sure who is getting it for $15.00.
I have CareMark for med coverage and they are a huge company and should have a great rate negotiated with the company/manufacturer.

People on Medicare/Medicaid or other government types of insurance cannot use the discount card at all!

Even with coverage, my doctor is helping by getting some samples to help offset my costs as we increase the dose.

P.S. I think it's "criminal" and hate to use it at all. However, so far, nothing else has worked and/or I cannot tolerate other meds. So I am btw a rock and a hard place, aka a rock and a rock. I honestly would rather not be involved with Latuda at all simply because I feel these types of rates are truly "criminal."
I feel some of these companies are taking advantage of people.
I know about the need to raise money for research and more. Yet, this high of a price for people who need the med so much?
Just does not seem "morally" correct, even if "legal."
I'm having a similar issues with my Vraylar. The pdoc wrote a script for me but my insurance won't cover it since there is a less expensive option (Wellbutrin). The thing is, Vraylar is 450mg and I was already on 300mg of Wellbutrin before the doc switched me over to the Vraylar. Thankfully they've been kind enough to give me samples to get me through until I see the pdoc again in 2 weeks and we can maybe figure out another option. Sometimes I hate insurance companies (and I deal with them on a daily basis because of the work that I do).

Please don't take risks. Nothing is worth it. You don't want to wind up on a hold again with all the follow-up monitoring. That was ugly.

if you do go to IP at least you KNOW you'll be safe when you're in there. and true they might be able to fix you up for the time you're in there and it may not stick long term. but savor every moment of stability you can get your hands on.

Please rethink the idea that you can't take care of yourself right now, because you really need to put yourself first. I feel so worried about your state and I think you're getting so much encouragement to remember that you really matter to so many people. Right now, my meds are working pretty well for me, but there are times I have to put myself into the care of others. Please hold on, please get more help. (((((Big hugs))))) And **** work.

Please go to the hospital. Ask your husband to get fmla paperwork from your job so you won't get fired. Also I thought I was all out if options with APs but I take risperdal. I went off of it for a bit but just went back on it again. It really helps me with paranoia, thoughts, and agitation.
