I am a 26-year-old male that has been managing a mental illness coupled with substance abuse for a few years. I was officially diagnosed with bi-polar disorder while away in college about five years ago. The journey into recovery hasn’t been easy. It took a couple years before the right medication mix was found to reduce the symptoms of my illness. At first it was Zyprexa, than Seroquel, Welbutrin, and Depakote. I tried Geodon but it had too many side effects, now its’ Abilify with Seroquel and Depakote. Without medications I am not the same person. The only way I can write this letter to you today is while being on the correct dosage of appropriate medications to balance out my moods.
I consider myself fortunate to have medical insurance to help me pay for medicine. However, it is to my general understanding that many consumers are uninsured and rely on government run programs like Medicaid to get their medicine. I know it is a possibility that I may have to rely on Medicaid and Social Security one day. If this were to happen I hope that there wouldn’t be any restrictions or grave obstacles preventing me from getting the same medicine with the same dosage necessary to keep my chemical imbalance level.
