Insurance Company Won't Let Me Have More Effexor

Potential Reasons Why My Insurance Company Won't Let Me Have More Effexor

1) My being less crazy would be a threat to national security.  I would offer more details, but I'm afraid such information is classified.  Even asking me to explain is unpatriotic.

 

2) My insurance company has pit me against Britney Spears in some kind of crazy-off and they have $100 riding on me being crazier.

 

3) My insurance company is spending all their money on more important medications, like Viagra or Cialis.  Because the world will stop if every man can't have an erection on demand.

 

4) My insurance company thinks I'm being greedy.  After all, starving children in Africa don't have Effexor.

 

5) My insurance company wants to date me and this is all some coy way to get my attention.  Romantic shenanigans and soft rock will ensue. 

 

6) The pro-life lobby has now completely taken control of the FDA and they have decided my insanity is a sentient being and any attempt to get rid of it is tantamount to having an abortion and they won't allow that.

 

7) My insurance company has a f---ing death wish.

You are one funny person.  I just went to the psycologist today and I have recently changed insurances.  I have to start all over again.  My medication will run out on Feb 7 but I can't see a psychiatrist until March 4.  Does that make any sense?  And we all know that even if you know what your diagnosis is, they have to run you through the hoops in order to follow protocol.

Gotta love insurance companies.  Mine wouldn't give my husband Lexapro because it's not a "first line" antidepressant, and you have to have a psychiatrist document THREE failed attempts on the antidepressants they prefer to prescribe before they'll approve Lexapro. 

so in other words, you have to remain miserable and take meds that don't work as well, but because they are cheaper, the company will give 'em to you.  And if you can't suck it up and deal by the third medication, THEN, if you haven't lost your job, ended up in rehab, or offed yourself, AND if you can get a doctor to vouch for it....they'll pay for Lexapro. (minus the huge copay of course).

Sorry to hear they wont let you have more effexor especially if you found it helpful and need to take it for longer. I've been on effexor my self but went off it after taking it for 5 months as it made me numb and also it didn't do much for my anxiety. I was a calmer person with regards to my irritation and I was happy but I just couldn't handle the numbness. I still have a full pack of effexor xl 75mg and if you were closer I'd give them to you.
