Congratulations on the support group! Maybe they can give you some suggestions as well. Yeah, going thru a Mental Health Center does make things tricky. I had a really bad experience at the one here, so I opted to find an individual therapist....randomly found her on the internet and the rest is history.

I would like to see her less often, but she is literally one of the very few in my circle of unconditionally supportive people. Since life keeps popping up new things for me to deal with, I find I have to go to her just to straighten it all out,

Dunno what you take, but if any of it is older--I'm on Lithium and Zoloft for example--are you taking generic versions? If you can go that route, you'll save oodles of money that way. If not, can you ask your P-doc for samples? Supposedly if they're prescribing something new that has no generic, they can provide samples.

Also something I found out here: Going to a locally-based pharmacy has saved me literally $100s of dollars. A random med I take priced at Wal-Mart, CVS, etc, is anywhere from $100 to $250 for a 30-day supply. At the local pharmacy where I go, the most I pay for one med is about $35. A friend of mine recently got put on a bunch of stuff and even w/her insurance she's paying hundreds a month---I suggested the local places near her; she had no idea she could save so much at a non-corporation pharmacy. I think it's something a lot of ppl aren't aware of. But I had to shop around cause I just couldn't pay that,

Hope you find out soon about the Rx plan; there's online stuff too that provides discounts, $4 a month for certain meds if you qualify.
