If you have a qualifying condition, then yes. I have an F29 diagnosis, which according to my pdoc, was one of them. If I get approved, I can be reimbursed the amounts I paid on meds for the previous 6 months.
Thanks for this!

That's awesome. Again I wish we had that here. Not everyone with mental illness gets disability insurance.

I pay roughly $100 per month on meds. That's because I have savings cards for Latuda. Once those run out it will be $200 a month. Doesn't sound like much but when you have a house and kids every little bit cuts something else out. Kwim?

Uh calm Down it was just a question. You're overreacting. Everyone knows I'm a drug addict so I'm not judging you

My Pdoc said it has to be taken 3xs per day to be effective. He also said that they should be taken at evenly spaced intervals. I take one in the morning, one midday, and one before bed.

Thats what im doing right now. Intervals. My peer support specialist suggested today i take one in the morning and 2 in the evening. Or spaced out like you said. I was only taking all 3 at night because 1, it helps me sleep and 2, thats what i was doing with my meds for 3 years.

Is it a pill that requires taking it with a meal? Some pills have to be taken with.300 calories of food, like Geodon. When I took that in 2010 I didn't realize this, took it on an empty stomach and then would get terrible nausea and dizziness. Then I broke out in hives.

It suggests to be taken with food. I had it with breakfast this morning (muffin and yogurt) and about two hours later made me feel all flu like. I took the afternoon pill while eating an apple so idk.

I noticed that when I had a snack between breakfast and lunch I felt a bit better so maybe I'm not eating enough with it...? Idk.
Thanks for this!
