> is that ethical? ;)
Yeah, probably not... I hope the NY Times doesn't find out, I could lose my job! :-)
Have you asked your pdoc what to do? Maybe he's delt with this before? If money's a problem maybe you could save some up and set it aside for paying for filling both prescriptions w/o insurance at a local pharmacy in the event of an emergency. In an emergency he could prescribe 250mg generic valproic acid when it is time to refill instead of depakote which only costs like $15 for 90 capsules verses like $75 for 250mg capsules of depakote -- generic valproic acid only comes in 250mg capsules. I think generic ritalin is pretty cheap, too. Anyway, just some more ideas that popped out of my head... I have to get that fixed one of these days -- my head, that is :)
Good Luck,
Jon
