have you considered applying for government assistance (medicaid, etc).
........with my part time job I make too much for medicaid, especially in Texas.
found out main local "carelink" program doesn't cover prozac--
.........that is so interesting, here the county health program does not cover Effexor, which is the one I need help with. Go figure.
if you have any more information regarding getting meds at a reduced price--
.......the programs I am contacting are offered by the drug manufacturers. There is info on this at www.nami.org/update/freemed.htm and I can tell you the number for Prozac's maker, Eli Lilly, patient assistance program is 800-545-6962.
You can call them and ask what the procedure is.
Good luck on getting help. I do not have insurance either. I have applied for insurance at my work, but it has not been approved yet and has a $500 deductible before benefits kick in.
