Psychotropic medication discussion thread

I think Rejica mentioned that AP is sometimes prescribed for anxiety,
but I suppose those of you pointing out that Medicare doesn't actually cover that specific use are right. It’s not like it’s covered under insurance if your diagnosis is just anxiety. You'd have to pay out of pocket. Unless, of course, you have a primary care doctor who's willing to take the risk of getting flagged for prescribing it off-label.
There are these official Medicare formularies that dictate exactly which medications can be billed for which diagnosis.
