e-fix-me

I decided last night that I was finally going to go see my doctor. I'm stressed constantly and my levels of anxiety are through the roof.  Couple that with the fact that I keep feeling like I'm not worth a damn, and I feel like I'm completely reliving my like in Fall of 2008.

So, at 9 am, I called my doctor and made an appointment. I met with him and after relaying my symptoms, he agreed that it's time for me to be back on my medicine. 

I went to Walmart assuming that the deal there for an uninsured person like myself, would be better that other places around. But, they said the lowest price they could give me was $105 for a 30 day supply. 

My phone then died. I went to Walgreens, and they quoted me $136. So, I went back to Walmart (even though there were other places to try, I was already worn out) I paid the $105.

I drove 30 minutes home, charged my phone, and found a lot of websites devoted to discount prescriptions. After calling Walmart, I went back to that heinous  place- and eventually was given a refund. The total supply of my 30 day prescription is $18.98. Much better. 

And, now starts my journey back into the world of Effexor. I was on it for a little over a year, a while back. It worked like a charm when I needed it, but the side effects of a missed dose were the worst things I have ever dealt with.

All I can say is that I hope I don't lose my creativity. That's the one true thing I want to keep.
