Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
If the cost of the medicine is the reason for not taking it then you should inform your psychiatrist about it and discuss the issue. There are other less expensive options for treatment of bipolar disorder that can be chosen for a long term maintenance treatment.
Discuss with your psychiatrist at the earliest.
Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
