Suggest Medication For Depression, Schizophrenia And Psychotic Problems

I am manic-depressive, schizophrenic and psychotic and have been on medication to treat for many years. I am also being treated for a toenail fungus that I ve been going to doctors for a good ten years, and on Medicaid. I found out my new doctor who prescribed my terbinafine for three months and my OLANZapine no longer accepts Medicaid the last month of my prescription so I called to get a new PCP, got one assigned and called them a few weeks ago. I can t get an appt. as a new patient until Sept. 17 and will run out of both medicines before then. The last time I was off the medicine I had heart pain diagnosed as a racing heart by the ER and was given a heart attack cocktail they called it. I am very concerned about running out of my medicine but don t know what to do about it.

Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines.
