When I called our local social health services they told me that I needed to be suicidal to get assistance.
*Is there a community mental health service there? Or one that operates based on income? Can you talk to your doctor and find out about assistance for your medication? I'd start with your MD and ask questions. Also, search the internet for free meds. There are sites for that too. But, I think the first place to start is with your MD. That's who first dx me as Bipolar. And I tried every AD. I can't believe my last doctor didn't catch it....
Anyway, sorry :) Start with your current MD and ask questions. S/he should be able to help...
