ABILIBY

Has anybody heard anything on the generic Abilify that is due out by April the 20th? This last month was 80.00 for me with insurance. I am so anxious to see what's going on. There is a massive legal battle going on for other things. The BIG PHARMA and stock holders are trying their best to hold up and delay it for as long as they can, (while the poor are hoping and praying that finally that can get it for 4 bucks) . The patent ended April 1 2015....Nothing is being said on the internet either. It's just hush, hush.

Jeesh Abilify was suppose to go generic years ago at the time my co-pay was 40/month. Same legal crap then.

Hopefully it will go through.

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

    Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.  I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings.  But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
