Switching meds, again.

I saw my psychiatric nurse practioner today and she's taking me off Latuda and having me try Abilify.  Latuda wasn't working for me, it's way too expensive and the insurance wasn't going to pay for it.  I picked up the Abilify today and Goodrx, it was only $20 and some change.


May Abilify be the medication to replace Venelfaxine for me.  With that, if you would be so kind as to pray for me regarding this change.


Thank you and hugs in advance.

I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that it works for you. It helped me a great deal when I was terribly depressed and unstable. Sending you good vibes, support, and staying hopeful for you.

Best of Luck!! I am just changing up meds, too, but back to previous - been a few years, Everything has different colors now - the pills, not 'everything' I guess I should say. They aren't THAT good. lol

I'd be happy to say prayers for ya! <3

Hugs and prayers Jen. Med changes are different for everyone, but it helps me to have a few distracting projects/tasks lined up. Games, coloring or art, naps, cooking or baking something if you can, cleaning.

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Quick, before the evil MONday gets here!  Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That.  Sadly.  But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top.  I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
