My daughter (28) is currently in a drug rehabilitaion centre
( cocaine abuse )
A Phycologist has put her on Seroquel. which i have been told she will have to take for the rest of her life.
The prescribed drugd Lithium, epilum and Seroquel are very
expensive is a generic available?
It seems to me that drug users who cannot afford the prescribed medication are doomed for life
Awaiting your reply
Kind Regards

Answer Hi,Peter!
Unfortunately, Seroquel is not available in a generic form.
Lithium is available in a generic.
I don't know what epilum is-are you sure this is the correct spelling?.
The manufacturer of Seroquel has a financial assistance program for low income patients that use Seroquel. Her doctor needs to fill out a form and send it in to the company.
Hope this helps, Mary
