If you are taking branded drugs always go to the company website and look for co-pay assistance programs. Ask the pharmacy when you pick up your drugs they sometimes have cards too.

My pharmacist told me over a thousand when I lost mine & considered paying out of pocket for the month
Ow. Yeah I pray that if I ever find myself without insurance Latuda will have gone generic or I wont be able to afford it.

Latuda isn't as good as abilify for me but doesn't cause weight gain. It has zero side effects
Yeah, I swapped mostly because of the weight gain too and the fact that I liked what I read about it. I was prescribed Latuda with Trokendi XR (topamax extended release) for weight loss the same day. I've lost all my Abilify weight.
I'm still trying to decide if I do like it better than Abilify. Yeah, I did say earlier that I did. It lets the amphetamines work better and it has all these benefits in terms of side effects, but I'm not sure if its actually as good in terms of alleviating symptoms.
DISCONTINUATION SYNDROME OFF ABILIFY WAS THE WORST. During the process of transitioning from aripiprazole to lurasidone, it produced "the fear"-- I can't describe it. An irrevocable feeling of terror that lasted all day. Imagining thinking of every life choice you've made and questioning it. Imagine not wanting to leave bed. Literally trying to think of anything but the negative thought patterns erupting in your head over and over. Ugh.

Just curious, you think I have a personality disorder?
Because I've known several people with Borderline personality disorder who did the same dance you're doing. They were diagnosed with ADHD then major depression then bipolar then some anxiety disorder then, some were given a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder. Many also were somatic with several complaints and got sent to the rheumatologist to investigate fibromyalgia. I know you said you don't have it.
It seems you have several contradictory meds there that you've manipulated your way on. You need to see a different doctor with a fresh set of eyes and admit to your drug seeking/self experimentation.

My doctor refused to give me ambien for months, despite sleeping 3 to 4 hours per night, because he believes less medicine is best
But at my last appointment I went without make up & he asked if I was feeling bad. I said I hadn't been sleeping & he finally gave me ambien
I still wake up a lot during the night but I go back to sleep pretty easily
I can't believe the poster who takes latuda for sleep. It causes me mild tiredness if I take it during the day but that's it

Mother fricker. You have fibromyalgia?

Taking an atypical antipsychotic with the risks it presents for sleep is insane.
My PDOC won't write me anything for sleep since I get Xanax, and I really don't want to mention any sleep problems because I don't want my dex or nuvigil lowered so I just keep my mouth shut.
I have gotten my GP to write me Restoril (temazepam, and it is far superior to Ambien (zolpidem). He usually doesn't really like to write it, however, so he will usually Rx me Sonata (zaleplon) which I find is better than Ambien too in the 10mg. capsule.

I clearly said "don't".

Just because the primary treatment of a condition is CBT does not mean it does not exist. Fibromyalgia is very real, and it can be very debilitating.

Oh. My bad. Sorry. I blame my add
I tried remeron for sleep but it made me manic. Before then it worked wonderfully
And I took Topomax for abilify weight gain but all it did was make me stupid

The neurosurgeon I used to work for usually wouldn't take patients who "had" it
I think it's just depression

Everyone says this. My own PDOC takes Topamax and she isn't stupid.
Imagine if you took 200mg. like me!
I have the Latuda 5-HT7 antagonism, Memantine's cognitive benefits, and psychostimulatory effects of amphetamines, armodafinil, and bupropion. Also, I notoriously hardly ever suffer side effects from medication so I guess that's why I'm alright.
