BP with no health insurance

[AmishErin]

This isn't really a question I guess so much as a search for reasurance

I have Bipolar... I also have MS...  But very limited health insurance... (only RX benifits) limited Doctors visits and absolutely no mental health

I did at one time have mental health benifits... I was diagnosed I had been on meds for a few years fast forward about 4 yrs ...

So I got this bright I dea that since medicare part D would pay for my prescriptions I took a few old bottles into a doctors office and asked him to fill them.

I have been self medicating now for over a month.

I am now taking Topamax100mg 2 times a day
wellbutterin sr 200mg 2 times a day.

I have been on these medications before as I have been BP for a while... I don't remember topamax making me so rollarcoastery like this.  When I was on it before my DRs made me go in for monthly liver tests...

I get to have lots more blood work done now but only have the liver work done once a year...

Anyone have any advice besides just go back to suffering through the swings??

PS I don't qualify for metal help and I kinda was less than honest to get the meds

Speak to the Medicare Rights Center. They can advise you of what your options are.

BP is my not my only health concern its in the backseat

thanks for responding... I am trying hard to take this seriously I am white knuckling it  cause of the no liver tests... that part might be better for me than I want to admit

I'm sorry you're feeling so desperate about your treatment.  I think you're wise to want to be on meds, but you already know what you're doing is dangerous. Where I live in Illinois there is a community mental health agency where I get my counseling, nursing, and psych care.  A long time ago a private doctor reduced his fees for me.  I hope you can find something- something- where you are.  I'm kind of worried about you.
