> I have had a long time getting meds right for my depression. Now taking celexa and buspar and remeron for sleep and although I have gained weight, I feel really well. Problem is we are in major debt and everytime I think of declaring bankruptcy, the anxiety comes back and I start to go on a downward spiral in spite of the meds. My mother is a millionaire. Would it be so wrong to ask her to help us out?? I am in my late 40's and feel like a leech if I do that, but what else to do. I know this isn't your standard psycho-babble question but I feel so alone.
These medicines are pretty expensive, aren't they? If it's alright with you, can I offer some ideas?
1.Drug companies have compassion programs to provide drugs for those in financial hardship. Contact your doc or the companies about that. Maybe someone here can help with more details.
2.Doc's often have free samples given to them from the visiting drug company reps. My doc saved me two months of Zoloft payments with free samples.
3.Maybe your mom has needed help at one time? Maybe might feel useful to have a chance to help? The worst she can do is say No?I think we all need help at some time, and I think we all have a chance to offer it in return at some point in time as well. Wishing it works out real soon for you. JohnL.
