I recently had to quite my psych. I can't afford $90 a visit anymore. I have enough meds squirreled away for about another month (90mg Cymbalta XL/day, Deplin 7.5 mcg/day). He was great, supplying me with samples so my budget could sustain the cost.
I go up and down alot, even with the meds, but am a staunch believer in chemical intervention as well as group support

I've since run out of the Deplin, so I now take 400mcg/day Folic Acid as a replacement. My real fear is when I run out of the Cymbalta, which I will have to try to replace with some kind of OTC concoction.
I've researched many of the popular reportedly natural OTC depression meds (St. John Wort, Inositol, Mega B vitamins, 5-HTP, Skullcap, Ginseng, and other 'patent medicine' claimers).
I fear I'm starting down a long dark road (I've been down it before and there is no light at the end )......
I'm rambling on, I don't even know what I really wanted to say when I started.......what a knucklehead
