Reader Question: Help with bipolar medication costs

Here is a question from Jasmin:

Julie,

I have no insurance and BP meds are very expensive,  is the medication assistance for a single woman with BP disorder. I know I don't qualify for medicaid benefits and so often I go without meds because of the price. Does anyone know where I can recieve assistance?

I know readers out there have many suggestions,  please send them in for Jasmine and I will post them ASAP.

Here are two tips: 

1.  All of the drug companies have some form of assistance- from coupons to discounts. Go to the maker of your meds and look for the assistance program.

2.  Generic meds are VERY cheap. If you can tolerate them- in other words, if they work for you- check out the Walmart pharmacy program. Some generics,  such as Lamotrigine (the generic for Lamictal) can be as little as $7 a month.
