I need more money...who doesn't?
So I did a little research today on Pristiq and discovered that I can't afford it. *sigh*
I had a feeling that might be the case. Since it stopped helping I decided to find out what the max dose was, 100mgs a day. I'm on 50 so I'm upping the dose but only every other day since I don't have enough of the pills to make it to the 29th like that. I'll see if that helps me but it's kind of a moot point. Even if it does I can't afford to spend $280 a month on meds, and its too new to be covered by my drug plan.
It pisses me off how little I can do to help myself with these newer meds, Disability is completely unwilling to subsidize my income to cover expensive medications. They tell you it's possible to get a medication added to your coverage but that's a bloody lie, there's so much red tape its basically impossible.
At the moment I'm hoping Dr. Dancel might have more sample bottles she can give me when I see her at the end of the month so that I'll be able to prove to myself that my body will adjust to this medication like it has to every other one and paying for it won't even be an issue.
I'm struggling with no patience and way too much frustration, makes my fuse way too short. I don't want to be snapping at my family so far I've managed to avoid it [they understand I &hearts them!] but doesn't make me any less frustrated that I snap at them.
