I don't have prescription discounts, what would I pay on average for antidepressants?

It depends on what type of antidepressants you are taking. On an average each brand name (Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac) pill will cost $ 2-4.  Whereas, the generic versions will cost as much as 1/3rd less if not even less. \n\nCheck with your local pharmacist for the various options.

Here's a screening quiz I found that can help give you an idea:\nhttp://psychcentral.com/depquiz.htm\nIf you think you need help, by all means get it.  I'm not sure of your situation, but talk to a psychiatrist, a counselor, a school official, a social worker...even if you don't have money to pay for a psychiatrist visit there are ways to get help - talk to a counselor at school or at work to see how.  If you are depressed, there's a good chance that medicine and/or talk therapy can get you back to your old self.

Yes, contact Smith GlaxoKline and apply to them for assistance.  Most drug companies will give medications free or reduced price to those in need who cannot afford it.  Also you could apply through department of human resources for medical assistance.  If you qualify you will get free or reduced price for prescription medications and medical care.

There is just a Preffered Formulary list...try going to \nwww.humana.com\nCall the 1-800 number on the back of your card...just FYI\nAnti-depressedts are the most expensive medications with Humana...and most of them need to have a prior Auth

There's really no answer to this question since different medications perform differently for different people.  You need to speak with your personal doctor to figure out which antidepressant is appropriate in your situation.  Then you might need to switch to a different medication if the prescribed antidepressant is not working or has too many unwanted side effects.\n\nI would recommend seeing a psychiatrist to get the prescription rather than a family doctor.  The psychiatrist knows the different medications and how they perform in different people.  A family doctor isn't very experienced in the usage of these types of medications.

First let me say that DODA is wrong about maina.  Those with bipolar II cycle between depression and hypo-mania.  Perhaps DODA will check the link below. We are all learning, that's the reson we are here asking and answering..\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-9095-PAROXETINE+-+ORAL.aspx?drugid=6969&drugname=Paroxetine+HCl+Oral\n\nI am bipolar II and also would rapid cycle.  I am currently taking 100mg Seroquel 20-30 minutes before bed time.  This is an anti-psychotic.  It stabilizes my mood and helps me sleep at night.  I'm also taking 20mg Paroxetine (Paxil) each morning.  Paroxetine is a SSRI antidepressant.\n\nThis combination has been working well for me for about 4 months now.  What a relief!  I do plan to as my doctor about reducing the Seroquel because it does make me feel fatigued for half the next day at this dose.\n\nOne secret to tell you about.  The cost between say a 50mg bottle and a 100mg bottle of any medication is very small.  Ask your doctor to prescribe a dose double what you need, then buy a pill cutter and cut them in half.  I you pay for your prescriptions you will pay a few dollars more when you refill, but you get twice the medication.  I pay $40 for my Seroquel since I have insurance. So I pay $40 every 2 months instead of $40 every month.  Some doctors will do this, some won't.  Also not all pills can be cut, especially controlled release, or coated tablets.\n\nCheck out the links below for loads of information.  You may contact me if you need more info or just want to talk.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry\n\nMY MISTAKE\nAFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION DODA WAS NOT WRONG. HYPOMAINA IS A MOOD LEVEL ELEVATED ABOVE THAT OF "NORMAL", THOUGH IT IS NOT AS SEVERE AS FULL BLOWN MANIA.

yeah, you never know what youre getting into when you buy from an online pharmacy, ESPECIALLY one that doesnt require a prescription. If you want to save money on your drugs, the best thing to do is get the generic for your drug, and if a generic is not available, switch to an older class of drugs for that condition. For instance, if you're on a new "sartan" ang2 antagonist for blood pressure such as Cozaar (losartan, i think retails around $80-100/month), have your doctor switch your prescription over to an ACE inhibitor like lisinopril (probably costs about $10-20). And dont get a brandname "XR" or "XL" or "SR" drug, they arent really any better and they cost way more. Talk to your doctor about it or have your pharmacy give your doc a call if youre interested in doing something like that.

It's expensive, I know that. It's something like $323.68 without insurance. (Last figure I rememeber being told to me by my pshychiatrist in CO).

On a smaller scale, there are probably more local options out there to help you secure the proper medications that you need without causing so much financial strain. Talk to your doctor about samples. Most doctor's offices have closets full of samples of prescription meds laying around to hand out to there patients. Ask your doctor if any of the meds you are taking are there. I am sure he / she will be willing to help. \n\nAnother option is to consult with your local health department. Many health departments / public health service providers offer options for medication assistance to those in need. Ask if your local department has a "Pharmacy Access" or "Pharmacy Assistance" program in place. These programs will help those with the need for assistance in securing prescription medications at low / no cost. Normally, the only requirement for inclusion in these programs is falling within a specific income bracket. Have proof of your income ready when you inquire to make the process go faster. Some programs may differ and may have other requirements / criteria that have to be met. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

you need to see the doctor and tell him or her how you are feeling. Your doctor may increase the milligram amount that you take (please don't take more than prescribed). \nDepression is serious and should be addressed. Talk to someone. Always remember their are people who care! Try talking to someone (a counselor ) (a teacher ) your folks.

Me too.  It's a huge problem.  Try RxOutreach, they will provide generics $20 for 3 month supply.  Also, many of the major pharmaceutical companies have patient assistance programs which may completely cover the cost of the medication.  Also try PPARx.org for information on other programs.

I would search for a psychiatric nurse practitioner; they can prescribe medication and are frequently as good as seeing a normal therapist, in addition to being much cheaper.

If you mean prescriptions, then yes it may be cheaper on the internet but you can't be sure what it actually is you have got, anyone can stick pills in a bottle and label them.\n\nWould you really want to take the risk just to save a bit of money?

first step... get insurance. you need it. exspecialy after that last question. Then talk to your doctor about medication. until the insurance comes through, see if he has any smaples that you could try. tell him that you dont have insurance, but that you feel like you need something to help you out. Tell him that you dont want to spend money on something that is not going to work for you, so you would like to try a sample product.
