They wonder why depressed people don't get better.... So I visited my psychiatrist today expecting to just get a check up and a refill on my prescription for Clonazepam. I get there, she asks how I've been since we last saw each other and I tell her about how my day has been pretty bad so now she thinks I'm depressed or something and decided to ask me if I wanted to go on an atypical, I declined but she "HIGHLY" (forced) my onto Abilify so I was asking about the side effects of 5 milligrams and she told me insomnia and nausea. I look it up after getting out with my two prescriptions and go to get them, I pick them up, look at how much my insurance just paid for and I now want to switch psychiatrists. 30x 5 mg pills of abilify was $1033.99 USD whereas my Clonazepam was $11.99 USD. I decided to get a council on abilify from the pharmacist and they said I'll probably have nausea and dizziness the first few weeks and might have involuntary muscle movements. I was thinking to myself, "Uh, what the fuck kind of medicine, if you even want to call it that, is this stuff?" But I was like what are the chances of not having those side effects? She said slim to none, and that almost everyone will experience the side effects like that. I asked to just return them so I don't waste them and just through them away, which is what I'm going to do. She declined and said it's not allowed although I didn't even have them in my possession yet. I'm so pissed off that my insurance just paid 1033.99 USD for poison with taxpayer dollars and I can't return it for them.
They really wonder why....
