Coping With Welfare Equals Losing 13 IQ Points

8. I was on Lyrica between six to seven years.

I went to a private doctor at the end of June and he asked me about switching over to gabapentin. I agreed the change because it is significantly less expensive and because Lyrica is a schedule V prescription which meant that I would have to return for subsequent visits every three months. I've been taking gabapentin during this month and noticed some improvement, but some symptoms remains. I believe that both prescriptions do have warnings regarding effects on depression though and I've dealt with those issues for about a dozen years.

At least I had the competence to get away from my brother during the day since I couldn't deal with the guilt trip that he was laying on me. I'm trying to hold things together and maybe the gabapentin is helping, but it isn't difficult to envision me posting a "this is my last post" thread. Hopefully my brother will get the issue resolved before noon so I can contact my case manager if I can't remain in his apartment.

BTW, the doctor I saw is a Republican asshole who refused to sign a Form 1836-A which would indicate that I was disabled and so I could remain on SNAP. I only stayed eligible for three months before that assistance was terminated since I didn't meet the work/volunteer requirements that equate to $2.15 per hour.
