I feel so good. I think this drug is really good for me. I feel stable. Im finally starting to sleep a little better too. my only concern is hopefully i can stay on it if my doctor can get my insurance to cover it.

any one else had to do that?

If you visit the manufacturer's website I think there's a rebate card on vraylar. It is very expensive, even on my insurance. The rebate card got me to $50/month, which was doable, though still expensive.

Surprisingly enough, mine was covered.
But I've had a med or two that took a word from the prescriber.

When were you all told to take this medication. I feel like my doc said morning, but I am sooooo dragging. Morose too.

I have Medicare so I'm nervous I'll have to quit it.

i hope you can get coverage approved. is abilify an option? or that other one...rexulti, I think?

im -really- glad you're off the Haldol on something safer, less toxic, easier to tolerate.

I'm allergic to abilify. And other atypicals tend to give me bad side effects so that why I'm so excited this one is going well.

I hope it gets covered !!

Since you have been on so many meds and side effects where so horrible that its likely your pdoc can get it approved ( well his office staff will) because you tried all the standard ones.

Often the Drug Maker has a program for people that need it but cant afford it.. I was getting Otezla for free from the drug company..

I take 3mg at night ... so far so good ... the maker rebate got mine down to $15 ... at least for a year ... hopefully won't need it that long ...
