detroitpistons,
I completely agree with you that the US health system is sick and twisted and I think you are right to be very angry. I have been there.
I am also sorry to hear that you don't qualify for patient assistance (a scam by drug companies to keep from getting sued- a scam I happen to benefit from at the moment).
I don't know how much you can afford, but I did find an RX card program (County RX Card) that will allow you to have your Effexor XR for about $140. As long as you have the script, then you can shop around for rx card programs (another one I know is PS Card but I am sure there are others). If it were up to me, we would never pay more than 10 bucks for any medication, like they do in sane countries. Still, if you are in a pinch, 140 is way better than retail, which is a screw job.
It would be horrible if you have to discontinue and I hope it doesn't come to that for you.
Good luck!
