Hi Rainee,
yep, I get your drift:-)
I really hope your new doc will be willing to work with you. Ask for samples, explain to him about MEdicaid, etc. What have you tried in the past for your depression? did any of it 'work'? I see you're on Medicaid. Does your state have a special prescription plan or just strictly medicaid???
You sound so much like me and all I can tell you is that I am close to 100Lbs overweight too and I am extremely catious about the meds that pose a potential weight gain for me-unfortunately Seroquel is great for sleep for me, but I have gained about 60 on it for sure.
For your possible BP II-have you ever been on a MS? what one? I have BPII and cycling and depression.
I wish you the best of luck, hope this helped and keep us posted:-)
Kristen
PS seems like a few of us are seeing our docs tomorrow-mine couldn't come soon enough! LOL
