[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 686792, member: 1963"] Well, what I really needed, and am trying to find a therapist who takes my insurance, is CBT. I did it for years and it was very helpful. My former shrink up North is sort of a pill pusher. He's also the only county services shrink, and the only one who takes my ins. I went with county services down here in Milwaukee because all the private psychiatrists had huge waiting lists and/or didn't accept my ins. I can't pay 450 for intake and 1st exam, and then 250 for regular medication mgmt exams. The psychiatrist I have now is very good and backs me when I'm reticent about medications. The only way I can swing my medications is that my husband was a disabled vet who died of his disability. I draw a pension as a result, and also have VA medical insurance +medicare due to my being disabled. Part of the VA ins is a FREE medications by mail pharmacy. My shrink has been kind enough to carry me on samples to get the doses straightened out, and once we know a medication is a good one, writes a 3 mos RX so I can get them for free. Very good when your Latuda retails for about 900 a month, and your % is around 250 a month. [/QUOTE]
