if you can call youe doctor and there are a lot of generic drugs that are inexpensive. You may can switch to something different. Wal-mart,Sam's club, and Costco ( you don't have to be a member to use the pharmacy) offer very cheap generics and I think rite-aid will match prices as well. good luck.

You can get many of them from Wal-Mart or Target for $4. You can go to their online sites to see if your drug is on the list. Be sure to check for the generic (the long hard to pronounce) name.
Look for the amount, too. They only sell a certain amount for $4. If they sell 60, and your perscription is for 120, it will cost you $8.

you can try asking your doctor for free samples. is there any place that you can aply to to get free meds ? here is ontario canada we have this agency called trillium that helps people with a low income to get their meds for free

need to have some kind of med support.

A couple of suggestions. There are prescription drug programs for people on low incomes where you can get many anti-depressants for free. I can't remember the website now, but your doctor will probably know. Or you can google it.

I've found nutritional rememdies to be really helpful. I did a search on nutrition and depression and found lots of good info.

I like to try different things -- meds, good nutrition, exercise, medication.

Oh one more thought -- you mentioned not being able to afford the doctor. Most areas have community mental health centers. You can see a doc there on a sliding fee based on your income. (I think I paid about $2 per visit -- They also gave me free meds. All my meds were covered.)

Just look in the phone book under mental health services. These places can be a lifesaver.

I get my effexor for free from the pharmacutical company. Every three months me and my doctor send the paper work in to the company and they send it right to my doctor. Its stomething to look into.

I am not aware of any herbal medications that can effectively treat major depression. Please work with you doctor in any case. I take fish oil and that seems to help me a little. Drug companies usuall have programs to help people on limit income, try needymeds.com. I am not sure about the spelling but they used to have information about this assistance process. Also, most community mental health centers/ some townships can help with free medications for those in need. Walmart also has deals. Good luck and I hope you fine some help and feel better.

I use a presciption and hope I never am without it but I worry about the same thing. What I would do is go to this health supplement store and talk to a woman there I trust. She gave me a good remedy for my irritable bowl sydrome. It was expensive, $25, but it lasted for several months. I too hope that there is a herbal remedy for this. I have heard B6, 10Q or something, 5htp is good. Talk to ebaby
