Canadian Gov’t pays for my injections and pills

I am receiving some disability - a couple hundred since I work.
But I have insurance so it does not cover all.

If it wasn’t for the Canadian Gov’t’s “Plan G” I’d be paying CDN $1200 every 3 weeks. This however will change, now I’m going on a 3 month injection which would have cost me $1500

your injection costs 1,5K?!

What is it?

It’s a new drug for Canada, I guess. I cannot remember the name of it right now. Starts with the letter “T”.

Even my current Invega injection, when it first came on the market, cost $1300. Now Invega is a bit cheaper, but like I said, I don’t pay it the gov’t does.

Is it Invega Trinza? That’s the 3 month Invega injection.

That sounds like it could be it. The name “Trinza” rings a bell. Off the shelve here in Canada it’ll cost CDN $1500 if you don’t get “Plan G”

Invega sustenna injections for me were $2200 a shot! But I was on the highest dose. I quit those cause it made me twitchy in my face and back. And side effects were unbearable. Couldn’t go into direct sunlight or I would get extreme dizziness. But state paid for them. I still felt guilty for that so switched to latuda.

Ha ha sleepybug u are paying alot of money …!!! If we Convert that money in Nepali its super Expensive …!!! Are u working ryte now …!!! Who helps u With Monetary issues …!!! I think Ur Boyfriend helps u with money matters …!!! But u seems functional to me …!!! Good bless…!!!

I am fairly independent, thank you - but I do have support - anytime I need. :slight_smile:

I get my Aristada shot at no cost, thanks to free samples the drug rep brings to the clinic. My patient assistance program application is still in the works, after months of getting that shot. I’m sure I could never afford to pay out of pocket for it. That’s part of why my dr chose that shot to switch me to, she knew they had a steady supply of samples.

Are u on SSi or ssdi …!! Scoob …!!!

No, I work, just don’t have insurance. I pay out of pocket for my Wellbutrin and Lamictal.

Does it sedates u …!!! When do u take ur dose in the day or at night…!!!

No, I don’t get any side effects, take it in the morning with my Wellbutrin. I’ve been on it for years, the only mood stabilizer that doesn’t give me side effects; I hated lithium, Depakote and Tegretol. I was on Tegretol for only a few days, though, because it made me see double.

One of my senior from my locality say he sees double on sodium valporate …!!

Yeah, that’s Depakote. I hated Depakote, made me tired, didn’t work that well, plus I couldn’t drink at all on it. One beer and I would be sick as a dog the next day, unable to keep anything down. Well, have a good day, @far_cry0, I’m going to bed. It’s after 1am where I am.

I haven’t done too much mischief…

smoked weed once with my boyfriend
had sex with someone much older
smoked cigarettes in high school
pierced my chin by myself in high school
ran away from school to be with my boyfriend
sexted and cheated on my boyfriend - not in a harmful way :smiley:

what else ?!

There is so much in my bucket list

Something I think everyone should do at least once is skydiving. Maybe not the best for us, though, I don’t know. I guess it depends on how stable you are. I haven’t done it since the early 2000s, shortly before becoming very sick for the first time. I worry that I would do something horrible and impulsive, like unbuckling my pack mid-air and falling out of it to kill myself. I’m not currently suicidal, but I worry about stuff like that. Skydiving is a rush like you wouldn’t believe, though, if you happen to be an adrenaline junkie.

I think everyone should get at least one tattoo, I’ve been tattooed eight times so far, with much more planned for the future. I was 34 when I got my first one, three years ago, kinda weird to wait that long but now I’m addicted. I suppose tattoos aren’t for everyone, though.

I guess I’ve done a little more mischief than you :slight_smile:. I smoked cigs and weed, and drank alcohol, as a teenager. I smoked more weed as an adult, though; hell, in grad school I was growing my own, and I grew some killer sh*t lol, very potent. I tried growing my own psychedelic mushrooms, but I think the spores I got were crap, considering I could eat a bunch and just get a little buzz, not an actual trip. Oh, and I nearly joined a street gang as a teenager lol, I guess that’s most of the mischief from my younger years. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
