Substandard Psychiatric help in Washington State

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.

I received a call from my insurance company to check on how I'm doing since getting out of the hospital and explained that the new medication I was put on is out of reach financially and surprisingly she said that they will make an exception for this one medication and my copay should be under $100.00 per month so that is good news.
As far as SI those thoughts come and go but are so intense at times I barely can control it and as far as a plan, yes. When I left the hospital I completed a crisis coping plan but again around Seattle resource are too limited when it come to behavioral health so I have a Nurse Prescriber but have not been able to connect with a counselor yet.
