It may work! That is strange that they will cover abilify and not zyprexa. I wonder if its the diabettes? The other thing you could do is stock up on zyprexa before January. Get a 90 day supply for a very high dose. Also doctors have free samples.
I'm paying $450 for insurance. You are lucky.
I think it will be a good replacement. I'm guessing that 1mg x 2 is a good replacement dose, for 5mg. Just remember if you have bad side effects on one version, try anouther. It is not as sedating. If thats a problem you could take something for sleep, maybe a sedating AD, like remeron, or paxil. Anouther option might be perphenazine as AP, which is sedating.
