I know you must feel incredibly frustrated. Your financial situation seems very similar to mine. You stated in another thread that you live a "comfortable" life (so do I) but cannot afford to go to the doctor, etc. I'm in the exact same boat. I finally got added to my husband's insurance two months ago, at a cost of nearly $400 a month, to find out last month that all of my mental problems are "pre-existing conditions" and will not be eligible for coverage for 18 mnths. So now, we have less money than before, when we couldn't afford for me to pay for a doctor, and no insurance coverage for the mental health services I need! I have been getting my wellbutrin through this program called "Bridges to Access" by the parm company. The application was fairly long (like 4-5 pages) and you have to give them a lot of personal financial information (check stubs and permission to call your employer to verify), but it covers the prescription for me. You also have to have the cooperation of your prescribing doctor, because they are the ones who actually have to submit the application and prescription(s) for you. Even the generic is about $80 a month, so it is very helpful to get it through them. Maybe once you get your prescription, you could try applying to some sort of program like that?
