Hi...I am new to this site and to posting questions in general, so hope I am doing this right
I am desperate for some information. My mother has suffered depression her entire life...the older she has gotten the more severe. She is on a permanent disability (has been for years and years) due to her mental health, and does not leave her home much. She is only 56 years young!
Her new psychiatrist recently sent her home with a sample pack good for a month of Abilify, which as most of you would know, is only available in the USA. After 20 years of suffering, she finally was put on seomthing that WORKED! It was night and day...no more negative voices, happy, energy back...felt "normal". She went to the doctor for more and he advised her that he is out of samples and not sure if he can get more!
She is back to being severly depressed and even more so as realized that there was help out there after all!! My question is, has anyone experienced this and does anyone have info on when and if this drug will be available in Canada? Her drug plan won't cover this drug, nor will Trillium that we can find out. I looked into purchasing privately and is about $1000.00 per month!!!!!
Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on how to obtain this drug or any other usefull info!
Thanks
