I'm going to the county mental health center. They said they'll get me meds for the next couple of months, but I still have to apply for Medicaid...I guess the drug companies won't do patient assistence unless you prove you've exhausted all options. Therefore, I have to apply to Medicaid and get refused before Wyeth will give me free meds.
What I find a little strange is that I have a friend who lives in a different county and he doesn't have to do this. They write him prescriptions and they send him to a specific pharmacy to pick them up, free of charge....In fact, one of his drugs is Abilify, which is super expensive, at least $500/ month.
I guess as long as I get free meds, I have nothing to complain about. I just hope the Medicaid application process isn't too much of a pain in the a**.
