This is what $90 looks like.
It doesn’t amount to much.
The SEVEN blue pills were $45 alone. The other 30 pills were another $45. Because they are a name brand prescription. Federated Insurance is FABULOUSLY CRAPTASTIC insurance. Remind me that $90 is better than $290.18. Because that’s what I would have paid WITHOUT the insurance.
Being crazy is expensive.
This one? Is Strattera.
“But wait a minute…” You might be saying… “Didn’t we already try that one and it FAILED MISERABLY?”
Yes.
Yes we did.
And yes it did.
Dr. Meyers suggested another try at it. Despite the fact that I couldn’t tell I was taking it AT ALL the first time I tried it, I’m trying it again.
Here’s why:
1.) I was only on it for a month. Studies show that it takes at least six weeks to see results.
2.) This was the last ADHD med I tried before we completely wiped out my entire drug regimen and started from scratch with everything after a two week “Wash Out.” I was in a very different place in my mental health treatments and it was time for a change.
3.) This is a higher dose. I’ll take 40mg for one week and then step up to 80mg for a month or longer to see how it goes.
4.) This is not an amphetamine and since I don’t seem to react properly to amphetamines, hey, bonus.
On the downside, it’s going to be at the very least another month before I might see any sort of results.
But we’ll see what happens I guess. I’ll give it a shot. For NINETY BUCKS I’ll take every last one of these dadblasted pills.
