Without prescription coverage, it may be tough to obtain proper meds if you need them...perhaps the free clinic can help you? Where I live, there are special government support programs to apply for for those who have special medication needs. Maybe there is something similar where you live?
Please take medication if you need it. I pray for God to open a door for you to get the care you need (medication included if it is needed...especially since it has helped you before) even though your situation is so difficult right now.
I too suffer from side effects, but after so many bouts with depression, I am at the place where I find the benefits far outweigh the negative things I have to deal with because of side effects. Sure, it is not fun to feel electric shock like sensations through my body, or to feel nautious (these are two of my main side effects) but the help the medication gives me is very much worth it for me.
Again, please keep us posted, Mar, we love hearing from you,
Well, I went to the free clinic last night. They opened at 5:30 pm and I went there after work. So I didn't get there till about 6:15. I understand they usually have about 40-50 patients. Last night they had 61. I was the last one to leave. It was 11:00pm. I was number 56. The doctor I saw spoke with me for quite a while and he told me if we have never had something we don't miss it. I know I've been blessed to have health coverage. There was a pharmacy at the clinic that filled the prescription for Lexapro. I know that if I just trust God, I will avoid a lot of worry. It was rather entertaining to spend 4 hours with a room full of people. One man and woman were showing off their tattoos.
