We were recently laid off and I’m on a daily medication that costs a lot, I need this so I don’t wind up in the hospital again, especially now with no medical coverage. I’ve tried to come off this medication, but my body won’t let me. I get a tingling feeling and my equilibrium is off. My body depends on this medication.

I am on seven very expensive medications for bipolar, and anxiety. I am a 23-year-old female and cannot afford to pay for all the meds. My meds are: Depakote, Xanax, Zoloft, Buspar, Trazodone, lithium, and Seroquel. Since I can’t afford to pay for my medications, I cannot work, because my moods are very sporadic, and I really need help to pay for them.
