anti-depressants free?

Question

I need anti-depressants, but I cannot afford them and I am currently on cymbalta samples, how can I get the meds I need if I can't afford to buy them. Dr. gives me samples but he can't keep doing that, and the cymbalta really works well. Wal-mart has the $4.00 perscriptions but my cymbalta isn't one of them. HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Most companies have programs that allow people with low income to receive medications for free. The link below has information for Lilly, the company that makes Cymbalta.

Answer 2

Talk to your doctor about getting on a meds program. Sometimes the manufacturers offer programs for people who cannot afford their drugs. And there may be local charities that offer meds programs. It can be a pain in the a** obtaining monthy supplies. But that's the perils of being poor in a high drug cost world. Psych drugs are always expensive. So unless you have some kind of medical insurance to help pay for the meds, you'll have to do your homework, and leg work, and find an alternate source. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Cymbalta is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor and a "Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors do exactly that: Inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, thus leaving excess serotonin which allows this stimulation to continue. It has long been known that inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin will produce depression, suicide, violence, psychosis, mania, cravings for alcohol and other drugs, reckless driving, etc." Read more at http://www.drugawareness.org/Ribbon/SSRIMeds.html
