I dodged a bullet
For those of you who are concerned about my well-being, I had mentioned that I had a medication check appointment on Monday. This was important because this was the first one under the new Tennessee formulary that limits me to five medications, only two of which can be name-brand.
I am currently on three name-brands, Wellbutrin XL, Abilify and Trileptal. We had agreed that mood stability was the priority, so Wellbutrin would have to go.
Well, I saw a new med nurse this time and she realized that Wellbutrin SR is now available in generic, so we switched me to it. The same medication, just a little shorter acting. This means I have to take it twice a day for the same effect, instead of just once with the XL.
This has put my mind at rest concerning my medications, at least for the moment. Until they change the rules again. But I'm not making the evening news tonight.
