> I don't have health insurance either. I'm paying out of my own pocket, although meds are a little cheaper in Canada. I get the odd Wellbutrin sample but mostly I have to pay for it myself since I don't always get much. The Prozac and Adderall came straight out of my pocket. It gets expensive. Around 200 bucks a month but I'd prefer meds to no meds. I'm much better off with them.

Brian,Yeah, I think that post in July was probably just informational. I'll have to check it out again though.
I wasn't so much concerned about the cost of the medication. I just want to be sure that I have coverage at a hospital in case of any problems. Since you're in Canada fortunately that isn't an issue for you.
I have a feeling this is going to be a great medication for you (or maybe your optimism is contagious)!
Take care,
K
