Steph, I don't know what the original drug is, but next time you get an expensive one, check that drug's website for coupons. I take Lyrica and it would normally be $65/month, but with their coupon it is $25. Much more manageable. I tried the generic, thanks to a demand from my insurance, and the side effects were bad.

Crossing my fingers for your Prozac. It has really helped Jack (yes, the dog is on Prozac). But seriously, I know a bunch of people who take it with great results.

Even with the manufacturer's coupon, it was over $250. I just can't do that right now. Not unless there are literally no other choices.

I hate that the generics are so much cheaper but sometimes so much worse even with the same main ingredient.

Oh my giddy aunt, seriously??? How is that even conceivably workable on a monthly basis. "Hey my depression is gone. And so is my house, my car, every belonging I have ever owned. But my brain isn't telling my lies anymore." Ugh.

Once again, go Prozac, help Teppy.

Prozac was good for me, it just made me sleepy, which is why I ended up on Celexa.

My doctor was a little concerned about Celexa since I had an allergic reaction to Lexapro, which is the metabolite of Celexa. I was willing to try it, but my doctor decided Prozac first. So I'm just SUPER hoping it works.

Prozac has worked really well for my anxiety.

ION, argh. The miniblinds on my bedroom window, which had been literally hanging on by a thread, just fell off entirely. And my apartment is still too much of a mess for me to call the landlord about it. Well, I've got some curtains that I'd been meaning to put up eventually -- guess this is the time to do it. I hope that the tension rod I got actually works. (And I've got to hang them slightly below the top of the window, because I can't reach the top, even when I'm standing on my bed.)

Steph I hope the Prozac works.

Lots if ~ma to you and your Mom epic

I had therapy with mom today.

It went ok. Basically she's worried about my future. I somehow committed to more testing with my therapist for things like executive function. It was kind of lile..it could help you now and also maybe if you have to file for disability.

Also mom wants to make up a roommate agreement.

Also, my mom is continuing her thing of sending me stuff when I post on Facebook that I'm stressed out. Which is a little weird, I guess, but still nice. I got a hundred gel pens (which I'm probably going to give to someone else, because I hate writing with gel pens), and something called the Vegetarian Shabbat Cookbook, which looks interesting. (Other times I've been stressed out or sick or in a lot of pain, she's sent me box sets of Buffy and Angel, an Iron Coin of the Faceless Man, a blue canary nightlight, and I think several other cookbooks. She feels guilty about not being able to make things better in my life, and I guess that sending me stuff makes her feel better about it.)
