you mean mailing off for samples from the company? Good luck

That's a good plan to get company help but don't go off your meds meantime. Talk to your doc about your predicament and maybe they can provide samples to get you through. All the docs I've known have enough samples to start their own pharmacy!

That is what I am doing I am getting samples of Pristiq right now but how long will that last. The doctor pawned me off to the outpatient advisor i guess you call her i dont know she is helping print out forms and i have to fill them out and then send them in. The only med i qualify for though is the prestiq not the lthium,buspar,or remron. They say there is a generic for them them and not to much money. Yey ok it is easier sad than done when you have no income and a parent that wont help you out getting your meds so what the fuck do I do in the mean time. I have been off my meds now since the beginning of May and jut getting worse by the day. I dont know what else to do or where else to turn.

I too have been off my meds, though for alot longer due to cost. I lost my insurance and now am trying to find a doc who will even write me a scrip for meds. Have you gone to the drug's website? ( Or is that what the forms are for that you mentioned) I would ask the doctor again about samples until the forms come through. Possibly a city or county health clinic depending on where you live.

Good luck!! I know how it feels to be off your meds and how it just keeps getting worse.

Your fathers income only counts if your under 18.....

other than that, your a boarder or homeless on forms - not his dependent...
