Promise not to snap at me for suggesting this, if it's not possible for you to do anything about, because I'm feeling pretty fragile just now and because I've been where you are too many times -- wondering if one woman and three cats could live in a Toyota...
Have you checked into the pharmaceutical companies' compassion programs? needymeds.com has a list, with instructions on how to go about using the programs. Basically, they would send out three months worth of their drug, free, to those who qualify. They send it to the doctor, who passes it on to the patient, and there's a form that requires both you and the doctor to fill out portions, and they don't do anything at all to make it easy to use -- but if you need the drugs and can't afford them, those programs are life-saving. It's how I got Effexor for most of the time I was on it.
Of course, I know things are different in Canada, and I don't know whether these programs are available there, but I hope it's something that might help you.
