[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 177859, member: 4845"] I picked up the medication's last night at the pharmacy and then realized they gave me the extended release Lithium, but still generic not the Lithobid. The psychiatrist didn't check the little box that says dispense name brand--but he wrote lithobid! Pharmacy is going to call him but they are saying there is a shortage of all types of lithium-generic or name brand. They don't have any of the Lithobid and the drug company said it will be at least a week before they have any more to ship out. Since she is all out of the reg. lithium we are trying the generic ER for now. As for the price issue...we go to Walmart because they are the cheapest. I do have insurance it's just the co-pays are alot when you have 3 medications, and several appointments a week for various docs and therapists. And her medications are being tweeked every few weeks to a month so I can't really order a 3 month supply. I would like to do that once she is stable. I've also applied for a special insurance my state offers for kids with disablities. (She had been found eligible for Social Security but the claimed I made too much money...REALLY WHERE IS IT???) Anyway this program only looks at the kids disability and thier resources NOT the parents. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It could take up to a month for a reply. I have heard that most people are denied and have to appeal to get it. The program would pick up everything my insurance doesn't cover including co-pays. Thanks for all the info. I'll let you know how it goes!! [/QUOTE]
