yes, the Pharmaceutical Research Group you noted below is the PHRMA information i gave in my original post. they help with much more then just the five major SRI manufacturers, if anyone needs help with the cost of meds, this is a valuable resource. thanks for the input and follow-up.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association publishes a directory of programs for those who cannot afford medications, which your doctor can request by calling 202-835-3450.
