Need Abilify and don't have the money?

Question

I've been on Zyprexa for schizophrenia, but couldn't stand the lethargy. I need something else. Maybe Geodon, but I have a weak heart, so I think Abilify might be my best choice. However, I don't have health insurance or the money for it. I'm in the Sacramento area. What are my options?

Answer 2

In many communities across America, "211" is a phone number reserved for referring callers to health and human services in their community. They could refer you to a mental health clinic where you could be evaluated by a doctor for appropriateness for abilify or another medication, and it could be provided at little or no cost if you meet financial guidelines, if obtained through a county mental health provider or contract clinic.

Another approach could be to apply to participate in a mental health drug research study where new medications are being tried. If you qualify you could receive drugs at no cost plus receive a small amount of money for being in the drug study. Review information on drug studies in your area at www.clinicaltrials.gov which is a website of the National Institutes of Health.
