Are There Any Other Alternative Drugs to Substitute for Azopt Drops?

Question by : Are there any other alternative drugs to substitute for Azopt drops?
The drops are actually not for my own use, but were prescribed by my local veterinarian for my dog who has glaucoma, but the prescription costs $ 175! I love my animal but simply cannot afford to pay this much for one medication for her every month. Are there any drugs that are similar that I could possibly suggest that might be less expensive?
Thank you so much for your detailed answer! Very informative and really does help. Yes the drops have been a pain. Right now she is also on Neo/Poly/Dex and she is getting 2 drops FOUR times per day. It’s next to impossible to get one drop in her, much less remembering to do it four times per day. =/ I will definitely ask about the drug you suggested. Also to be fair my dog is 10 years old so I don’t expect her to live forever and I just don’t feel comfortable throwing out tons of cash for treatments that might not even help. Apparently the glaucoma is only affecting one eye at the moment and I guess the idea is to keep it from spreading? Unfortunately my vet is not very familiar with optometry and I am being sent to a specialist on veterinary optometry this Friday, perhaps I should ask him about trying the alternative drug?

To Other Recovering or Struggling Drug Addicts, Do You Ever Feel Like There’s Nothing to Look Forward to Now?

Question by Skye: To other recovering or struggling drug addicts, do you ever feel like there’s nothing to look forward to now?
I’ve been clean for a while now with a couple of relapses off of mainly Heroin (along with prescription painkillers, Cocaine, and alcohol). I don’t feel joy anymore. Things that used to bring me pleasure before drugs, just don’t anymore. I used to love like going to the beach and playing with my pets but now I don’t even want to do that. It’s a struggle to even get out of bed anymore. I also suffer from severe depression and anxiety which got worse from years of abusing my body with substances. It’s like there is something wrong with my mind. I can’t work. I’ve tried different jobs but I always start crying at work if the littlest thing goes wrong and I can’t stop. I’m on disability which goes to my Mom to help pay for my expenses. I’m 35. I’m still somewhat attractive which is remarkable considering what I’ve gone through. I was very attractive in my 20’s and all my self-esteem revolved around attention I got from men. Now that I’m not as hot as I used to be (cont’d)
I don’t feel good about myself. I’ve slowly tried to get back into things I used to love but like I said, the enjoyment is gone. I have to force myself to even take a walk. I thought about taking Prozac but I don’t think it’d help much. I’ve destroyed any credit I’ve had. I owe thousands and thousands of dollars to creditors that I’ll never be able to pay back from spending so much money on drugs. I’ve ruined my relationship with my Mom from stealing so much from her. She still can’t trust me at all. I feel terrible about it. I have a bf who is struggling with trying to get off of Heroin. We’ve been dating for 8 years now and we can’t afford to live together or get married. I have to live at home still. I want kids but I’m not mentally stable enough to care for them at this stage in my life but my biological clock is ticking. My health isn’t good either. I used to have a lot going for me. I had only one year left for a 4 year college degree! (cont’d)
Sorry about going on an on about how sorry I feel for myself. I know there are MANY people out there in MUCH worse situations than myself. I’m lucky to have a Mom that will still take care of me even after what I’ve done to her. I live in a nice house and still have a nice clothes and car (although I can’t drive it for another 6 months due to my first DUI). I tried AA and NA but it didn’t help! We can’t afford rehabs and I’m not using much anymore so that really isn’t somewhere I need to go. I’ve been seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist but they haven’t been much help. I find it difficult to talk to them about my problems. I’m just hoping maybe someone can give me some words of encouragement that felt like I do or does feel like I do. I could really use it. I’m very depressed… Please help.
