Hello Yayme,

A doctor once told me to try going off my meds; I flat out said NO because being on my meds , Zoloft to be exact, helped change my life too much. I was stunned that he said that to me. He was just out of medical school and inexperienced, but the experienced will give dumb advice too. There was a time I stopped taking my zoloft because I was out of work and could not afford it; I ended up in the hospital. Never stop taking your meds!

Right now I am going through unemployment once again and will have to use patient assistance to pay for my med. All makers of meds have Patient Assistance programs to help you pay. Just go the the makers or medicine (i.e. zoloft.com) website and download the form and take it to your MD. You will complete most of the information. And most makers will give you a 90-day supply of daily doses that you would take for about $30.00.

If you have questions, just want to talk, or need any advice, please send me an email.
