Not sure what you mean. Do you work in a hospital? How would your records ever get 'out'. I think the diagnosis would be fairly clear. You have been depressed, you can't afford the medication so you stopped, you are really depressed again. I can see time as being a good excuse. I have been to the hospital twice and the only negative was the time issue.
You may want to switch to a med like imipramine or amitriptyline. I was recently switched to amitriptyline. It costs me $11 a month (total) and so far has been vastly more effective than SSRI's, effexor, remeron, etc. Imipramine would likely be comparable to pristiq in its clinical action.
