My doc kinda sorta wanted me on amoxapine (she didn't push it hard, but...still...), so I got to thinking: why bother making disability pay for abilify, when I could just take amoxapine or low-dose loxapine?
Any thoughts on this? I used to order generic Abilify from India for like 30-40ish/month, and that was for 30mgs/day. Now on disability, the taxpayers are paying nearly 1,000/month for 20mgs tablets, and the TD risk isn't nearly as low as was initially believed.
Just a thought. If I could use either amoxapine or loxapine in place of Abilify, my overall med combo would come down to less than $150/month in cost to the tax payers. With all the antioxidants on board, that would reduce the TD risk considerably (Orthomolecular is a really, really good idea if you're on psych meds, btw).
My concern, I guess, would be hormonal effects. Seems like those are common with many antipsychotics at an effective dose :-(
Any thoughts?
