Okay I just want to freak out about this just once and get more than a shrug of the shoulders. Meds are essential for people like us, you have to pay for health literally.   So I can't help but freak out just a little bit when the price on that jumps from $80 a month to nearly $500 a month!!!!!

What med is that? I’m on Medicaid so I don’t pay anything out of pocket.

So if you use "GoodRX.com" you can get Abilfy (aripiprazole) 20mg for $33.74/mo at Wal-mart.

I didn't know what mg you took to search by, but you can check that for yourself at GoodRX.com

Anyone can use it and it works at pretty much any pharmacy and its free.

As for the constipation pill, you could try OTC Miralax it works wonders. It used to be Prescription until the patent was released a few years ago.

I’m very lucky because I’m enrolled in a local medical facility which takes care of everything for seniors with major health problems. So I get my medication and all medical treatment for free. Not a day goes by that I dont feel extremely grateful for this.

    Today mom and I are taking Moo and Copper to the vet for vaccines.  I'm watching a movie having coffee while copper snoozes in between my knees.  What does Thursday look like for you?

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
