The simplest way to get info on the drug company programs is www.needymeds.com . The easiest antidepressant to get is Lexapro. It is a simple one-page form, does not require proof of income, and about 2-3 weeks later you get a free 3-month supply of medication. You can continue to apply and receive meds indefinitely. Forest Labs (the manufacturer) is a reliable company and unlikely to suddenly stop the program, and Lexapro is probably the best tolerated anti-depressant there is in my opinion. If you only need 10mg (the starting dose) your doctor can write for 20mg and you can break the pill in half and have a 6 month supply (just don't tell them I told you this). It is a brand name medicine so you don't have to worry about the 20% plus or minus rule the generics are allowed to work under.
