I couldnt agree more about a number of things in your replies. Back when I was just 1/2 assing my way through my recovery and would sleep until I couldnt sleep anymore even if I wanted to....
I made an appointment with a county run indigent-care clinic doctors with the idea of asking their help with a worsening case of insomnia.
What I really wanted was a Lunesta™ script, (as they were brand spankin new and I wanted to pop them at night but I'd probably use it recreationally if I had the chance.)The nurse asks me to roll up my sleeves and to let her draw 2 tubes of blood for the Doctor to have send to be tested. By whom, and for what, it ended up not mattering.
California indigent health care services dont cover Lunesta. But the Doctor informed me that they will cover me a 10mg ambien script. But only one time & never again.Moral of the story is that I now have a somewhat decent health care insurer...Medi-Cal.
And though they cover countless drugs that the indigent program didnt.Obsticle being: xanax isnt covered by Medi-Cal. But even if I've used xanax bought from diverted sources and am of the mindset that there has never been a drug that made me complete and whole again..ever!!
But I cant mention that tidbit of info to sway them away from SSRI's. But I know this...I will decline all attempts to treat me for depression instead of anxiety...
thanks again
