I think quality of life is often a forgot part of the equation. The relatively low side effect profile of Lamictal makes its cost extremely worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>P.S. What do I expect people with anxiety to do if not Xanax or Seroquel? Try CBT or ACT or some other acceptable form of psychotherapy. Therapy is often underutilized in favor of drug therapy, even though it can be incredibly effective and sometimes a better, more cost-effective longterm solution.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I didn't realize it was an overly expensive solution. But it's also my last ditch resort for seriously, seriously nasty insomnia. Luckily, it takes me about a year to go through my 1 bottle of 30 tabs.<BR/><BR/>From a patient perspective, I don't like benzos. It seems like I know just as many people on benzos as I do on antidepressants these days. Some days I wonder if they passed out like candy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-71344224424767266002008-02-16T11:20:00.000-05:002008-02-16T11:20:00.000-05:00OK fine so you want to go first.

That's two threats I've gotten in the past week. The lifer gets first dibbs on me I'm afraid.<BR/><BR/>It's a good thing we've been friends for twenty years or we might not have survived. It's also a good thing you feed me. Thanks for the Indian food last night, it was delicious.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-27490114831626178222008-02-16T07:01:00.000-05:002008-02-16T07:01:00.000-05:00Great post!

From the Baltimore Sun:<BR/><BR/>"Yesterday, the company pledged to help seniors bridge a coverage gap known as the "doughnut hole" in Medicare drug plans with a $7 million-a-year program. Earlier in the week, CareFirst gave $100,000 to Health Care for the Homeless, a nonprofit group."ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.com
