Do you have a county mental health program or clinic in your area?

If so, that would be your best bet for getting some help with medications for mental illness.

I recently moved back home to go back to school because I couldn't find a job. I had my last appointment with my old doctor in December, and I got 3 months worth of meds at that time. It's been that way for a while. I've been relatively stable for a nice, long stretch. I just had maintenance appointments every 3 months and my pdoc would refill my scripts.

I could probably afford to pay $100 for a pdoc maintenance appt every 3 months (although there will be an expensive initial intake appointment), but I don't think I can afford the Effexor XR until it goes generic. Lamictal is already generic, but I don't think Effexor XR goes generic until the summer.
