Substandard Psychiatric help in Washington State

Hello
I believe the hospital stay was helpful at the time, however the medication that was started there has not starting working yet. But worst of all that particular medication has a very high copay $478.21 per month. I will be contacting my Insurance carrier and see if they will make an exception so I can give the Med a try for a few months.

Ouch! That's one expensive medication! My lidocaine cream had a more than $100 copay, but now Medicare doesn't cover it, so I guess it's a moot point. I called the manufacturer, and they gave me a couple of numbers to see if they would help with the cost. But, since it's not on their formulary, I haven't called anyone. Maybe you could find if your medication would qualify for assistance. If you want the numbers they gave me I'll pass them along.
Do suicidal thoughts come and go, or are they there all the time? Do you have a plan for how you will commit suicide? Do you have a plan list of things you can do, or people you can call when you don't feel safe? Of course, we are always available to support you.
