I would like to gripe about the price of meds for treating this nightmare of an illness. It is simply ridiculus that Zyprexa cost around $20 a pill. It's simply unreasonable that Depakote slow release cost about $10 each. Furthurmore, one usually requires multiple pills per day. The list goes on and on.

If one has this illness, they're probably better off being homeless so to get on a government assisted program. They get their meds free of charge.

Are BP people able to love to ones that love them ?

I'm a stay at home mom and my husband owns his own business so we have no insurance. I have had to do alot of research and use a lot of creativity. I have found there are some resources out there where you don't have to live in a cardboard box to get help. Most drug companies have their own assistance programs to get free or even reduced meds or a doctor who can keep you loaded up w/samples. Lamictal costs me about $350/month but per samples and writing to the company I now pay $10.00, I found another program where I get my Zoloft for free for a year. We are by no means poor but w/a little perserverence you can find help. let me know if you need more info. Take care of yourself. Jenn

Hey Jenn thank you so much for the potentially very helpful advice/tip.

I not financially strapped either, but when gas is neal $4 a gallon and inflation is hitting home, it doesn't help the BP situation, family life and attitude towards life when the medication that is supposed to help with such things is priced to where it causes symptoms that it's supposed to help with.
