Ok, some of you know by now that I am emotionally fragile right now. THis past monday, I got into it withmy boyfriends sister and am being kicked out of the house. Long story short she talke dto me like a dog one to many times and I had had enough. I just feel like I want to give up. I mean nothing is working out for me. I can't get into to see the therapist or the psych doc to get my meds because this freaking county that I live in only has one Mental health place that has a pysch doc. This means that for over six months now I have been without meds and trying to deal with my depression on my own. I feel like the whole world wants me to feel like this. Like god made the biggest mistake when he made me.

1.If you have access to the internet and can do some research try to find the website for the company/iesthat make/s the drug/s that you take. Some companies have programs for people who cannot pay for drugs. If they have an address on the site or there may even be a place on the site where you can sign up.
2. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! there are people on DAILY STRENGTH who can talk to you and share ideas. There are other groups on here also where people reach out to help people. Keep looking and keep trying.

I know about the drug company programs as I have made use of them in the past. However, it is getting in to see a psych doc to get a script that is my main problem right now. It will be at least another month and a half til I can get in to see her. My regular physician won't (or can't) write me a script for my lexapro. I am at a loss as to what to do.

I do really appreciate the advice thoug and I am sorry if I seem ungrateful, but I am so darn frustrated.

i had trouble getting lexapro also

it might be easier to get celexa which is the old form of lexapro
it takes twice as much to do the same thing because the lexapro is "purified" somehow--

How about a new regular physician . . . I moved and got a new physician . . .walked in explained about my depression and told him the meds regimen I was on . . . he went ahead and prescribed refills for them all . . .it REALLY depends on the doc

Guess I don't understand why your doctor won't give you and rx for your Lexapro knowing your situation. Or why your psych doc won't call something in until you can get into see them. Unless this will be the first time ever seeing them than of course it falls on your regular doctor... I don't except that they can leave you in this possition. It even upsets and frustraits me!
