Paying for medication

I am suffering from clinical depression. The last five years of my life have been a rollercoaster. My psychiatrist has been giving me samples of Lexapro for the last six months. He just increased my dosage and can no longer give me samples. Here is where the problem comes in; I am also on a lot of other medications for seizures etc... What I'd like to know is there any kind of support out there for people like me who work and just can't afford it?

Some of the drug companies have 1 -800 numbers you can call, and sometimes they'll give the meds to people who can't afford them. My info on it is at work I could check tomorrow when I'm there and message you. I think Lexapro is one that was on the list. Also there's a website www.211.org and also in many communities you can just dial 211 to talk to someone about community resources. It's a good starting place because they could direct you to community agencies that may also be able to help. Good luck!
