You can get name brand meds free through patient assistance programs. If you go to the company that makes the drug and search for patient assistance if it isn't in big letters someone on the splash page then you just fill out the application, your pdoc signs a few things and off it goes. Don't pay strict attention to the criteria; they grant exemptions all the time. Even if you are denied re-apply and send a letter explaining why you need to have the assistance. I do that with the initial paperwork.
Rx Outreach | Patient Assistance Program, Discount Prescription Drugs is a great place to get meds at REALLY discounted prices. When I was uninsured I could often get 3 months supply for what 6 or more months would have cost with just a discount card. It's mail-order and again your dr just signs your application and it really can help.
As far as affording a pdoc maybe try community mental health and see what they say. If you have a low income you may be eligible for disability Medicaid. Job and family services is also a good place to start. Also call around. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a sliding scale place.
