Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My grandsons have lost Medicaid. Jacob currently takes 15 milligrams of Abilify. It is imperative he has the medications he needs due to a chomosomal translocation resulting is a myriad of issues. Is there ANY WAY you could provide help with him getting this medication? Our daughter and husband cannot afford 1200 $ a month for this med. He also takes three (3) others which we are also checking on.
Abilify contains aripiprazole and it is a atypical antipsychotic. In case, you can affod this drugs, you can try risperidone. It is better antipsychotic than abilify, but has few side effects like sedation or exprapyramidal side effects. It is cost effective as compared to abilify You can consult a psychiatrist before taking this. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
