After an entire year of having no insurance I have finally rejoined the land of enchantment that is the insured. I went to my psychiatrist and only paid 15 bucks instead of the 60 dollar non insured price. The best part however was that I was finally able to get back on all my meds and the timing couldn't be more perfect. I've been having a rough month and the last few days have REALLY been extreme. I want to cry for no reason, feel really anxious and overwhelmed, down, tired, etc...just not great in general.
As of last night though I'm back on a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant instead of just the antidepressent which had been the case since at least December. I've been able to successfully maintain and am really quite proud of myself for staying medicated even though the cost was high as giraffe pussy...
I had the Walgreens savings plan which cut my RX from 400 bucks to 107.00 a month (but considering I was unemployed for 6 months that hurt--A LOT).
Last night when I filled my RXs, without insurance I would have paid 853.26 but instead paid only 24.14--so despite being pretty down, blah, crappy and ugh... at least there is a silver lining to something right now :)
I'm just crossing my fingers that nothing turns into a "preexisting condition" issue though--that will just piss me off and probably make me go postal.
