I hope for your sake all goes well at the outpatient visits. Best wishes for the both of you.

Is that because of your dosage? I just looked at what my lamotrigine costs me, and I pay $27/mo for 200 mg a day retail-I don't have insurance either. I paid more for my levothyroxine.

Does it help to explain that it's like food? We all need a healthy diet to get the right nutrients, and meds are like that-it's to give us what we need to function fully. That was how I dealt with it myself when I was so down on myself for having to take meds, especially meds that cost so much money.

There should be a program through the drug company to get the brand name for free...I know there are requirements, but maybe that's a possibility.

I'm thinking of you rose. My son had his own breakdown at the same time you and I were PM'ing about your son. My heart goes out to you and your boy. (((Hugs)))

I can try that and see if it works. It does look like the insurance will cover it. Will know for sure tomorrow.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
