Without my meds, I'll spiral down into the abyss. I don't know where to get meds for a reduced cost.

If you are really desperate, try going to a Church, and explaining your situation. Churches will often help out people financially who are in a pinch. The priest/pastor or a volunteer may come with you to the pharmacy and pay for your prescription.
I would try a Catholic or United Church first. Look for Churches that are very involved in the community -- the kind that have soup kitchens, AA meetings, homeless shelters in the basement, that kind of place. These Churches will also have contacts with other organizations that can help you in the future to pay for your prescriptions.
When my mom was a starving university student with no place to stay, she walked into a Church, asked for help, and they just handed her $500 to put a deposit on a dormitory room. Just like that.
