I do see a doctor for my meds, but I have been without insurance for 4 years. I've just got insurance through work but I'm still on the probationary period. After another 2.5 months it will kick in and I'll get help. I tried the state but I missed an appt bc I was sick and they tossed my file out. There is a free clinic but it runs only during my work hours and only during the week. I can't miss work during the first 90 days. I've been on meds since before I lost my coverage, and one of them works well, clomipramine, but it's mainly for my OCD and not so much the depression. I am going to talk about upping the dosage though bc my tics are becoming a little more prominent and annoying, but still, nothing like they used to be. I've been on clomipramine for 10 years and it still works, unlike the other stuff I have taken, many meds, that last for about 2 years and then lose their effectiveness at the highest dosage. My wellbutrin will probably need to be upped, and I'm sure after a few years I'll have to find another med. But thank goodness I have insurance now, GOOD insurance, and I can find a doctor that can work with my work hours.
