Schizophrenia (Q and A)

[Oats]

Is there any reason why you've stopped taking your meds? did they have adverse side effects that you didn't like, Was it there cost? Or a personal matter?

cost

Hey, Oats...sorry you're having trouble affording your medication(s). I take 1 medication, an "atypical" antipsychotic. I don't have insurance. If I bought it at a normal pharmacy, I'd be paying more for my medication that I do for rent. I get mine online through a service that imports it from India, where they already have a generic version of it. That reduces the cost to about $70 a month, and I take the highest FDA-approved dose. Other "atypical" antipsychotics are available in generic form for even less $$$ per month from reputable sites that sell them from India.

Just thought you might want to consider it...I'd hate to see you end up having problems b/c you couldn't afford your medication(s).
