1659502 tn?1302487627 I know that the Medicaid Buy in for Working People with Disabilities is one option that can be of help if your state has it. Generally without insurance psychiatrists and other doctors have a fee that may not be affordable. There might be other insurance options as well depending what you qualify for. There are still mood stabilizers that you haven't tried. This is a full list: http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/meds/moodstabilizers.
Avatar f tn Going through the same thing. Do you have insurance and does offer any short term disability? Mental illness is many times covered, and that's what I had to do.
Avatar n tn I sell individual health insurance in AZ and some plans will cover you with a waiting period for certain pre-existing conditions. See an agent in your area and apply for the best plan that meets your needs. Blue Cross is usually prety good about covering pre-ex with a rider.
Avatar f tn Help for what? Depression, anxiety, substance abuse? There are lots of public health clinics that go off of income and if you have no income you pay nothing at all, and if its substance abuse treatment the same thing. You have to research it, but you will find a lot of low income gov funded clinics and even rehabs.

Avatar f tn Your insurance covers him for 6 weeks. You don't get insurance for him before he's born.
Avatar f tn This has been going on for almost a year now. my insurance wont pay for depression meds. and i cant afford them . i just feel that life is hopless and im just going on a steady road of hoplessness until i die. idk what to do anymore. i feel that im destined to live a life of pain forever. somebody help.
Avatar m tn I don't mean to blow you off, but I suggest you post this question over on the Complmentary Medicine Forum. The folks there know WAY more than we do about herbal/natural remedies and can give you expert advice. I think the two herbs you're trying now are very good. Kava is great for anxiety and St. Johns Wort is good for depression, but sometimes I think they recommend you take some other things along with it.
Avatar f tn Doctor wants me to start this med for depression. I have no insurance. Other meds are killing me paying only with a discount card from Dr. office.
4753943 tn?1359934569 My doctor wants me to withdraw from Effexor XR too. I was on 150mg daily for five years, but have been on lots of anti depressants for 20 years. I am taking 150mg one day and 75mg the next day, and so on. I am to do this for three months, and then go to 75mg a day for a further 3 months. I did find the generic form of Effexor was not the same as the brand name, and did not suit me. As Effexor XR does not go down to a minimum, I am wondering what will happen.
3199802 tn?1362250559 I have never been honest about the Vicodin abuse to my Psych NP or a therapist in the past; therefore, how could either one help?! Has anyone ever used any herbal meds for depression and/or anxiety without any presciption ones? I have triex all the OTC for sleep and it has not worked Anyway thanks for listening and responding!!
Avatar f tn Some regular physician can help, but you require medication and therapeutic help. If there is money issues or insurance issues see where the closest community mental health clinic is. Most counties have some sort of services or services nearby. These people are licensed to treat with medication as well as behavioral therapy. They can work with you if your insurance does not cover their services. Usually they base your fees on what your income is. I think this would be your best option.
Avatar n tn my apologies for being stupid and not noticing the title "no insurance," in which case, seek medicaid or whatever free insurance there is there. try the breathing, then sam-e. i'm currently off my bi-polar/depression meds and know how you feel; it's hell.
Avatar f tn Similar to yourself, I too have anxiety without Depression. I was also given Lorazapam and take it as needed, mostly to sleep though. BUT...I was also prescribed Lexapro, please keep in mind that some of these meds that are for depression are also prescribed to help with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. If you are just a "worrier" by nature, you could very well have GAD. I am on a VERY low does of Lexapro (10mg), and it helps with my daily nervousness.
Avatar f tn I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas on how to get my insurance to help me, or any other ideas to help me with my depression!!!!
Avatar f tn A big hugs from me. But ask for help. My last (fchp) insurance even had a counselor that called me monthly. But, right now, you need more often than monthly. Some resources are: .Some workplaces have counselors which do 3/4 sessions with you for free. .There's community based free counseling. .Talk to your ob. They should have resources in your hospital. .Call your insurance. They can guide you. .If the doc suggested meds, take them. They have ones that are safe for the baby.
Avatar f tn I found several things online that addressed the issue of depression without sadness. I was wondering if anyone else had dealt with this problem and what was prescribed to them. I'm going to make an appointment to see my psychiatrist and see if she can help.
Avatar f tn They have contacts and can get you help even with no insurance. This is what they do, let them do it. Make that call.
Avatar f tn HOWEVER - if you or someone you know is going through depression - WITH or WITHOUT HCV... Please ---- PLEASE --- find someone who is educated in this field... A doctor - a counselor - a priest - a pastor - psychologist - etc. Because Depression can really harm a person. Alright? Hugs!
603543 tn?1255294450 disgusts me by ignoring you and giving you such advice in this Blah Blah way. Without insurance you can get free help through the county health department. They can direct you to programs that are no cost. Also if you went to the emergency room they have to treat you with or without insurance. Its the law. I am a bit confused as to why the Dr wanted you to stop the effexor in the first place. If it works for you you should be on it. Always reach out like you are now. You are not alone.
Avatar f tn Hi Rennee, Hope this helps. Ok I undestand your need for help. There are places that take patients on a sliding scale per visit. It is your debt over income. They offer things like cognative behavioral therapy as well as medication if needed. I would try the first. It is an option just look for a psy place in your area for low income. You need help and they may be able to give it to you.
Avatar m tn You should see an endocrinologist (or another one) as surgery is not usually the first choice for hyperthyroidism.
Avatar n tn Nope, I've never seen a doctor for it. Just kinda delt with it. It's just gotten so much worse since being pregnant. I'm on my mom's insurance and she gets detailed insurance statements and I don't want her finding out by me seeing a specialist. I will talk to my obgyn about it though and see what she says.
449058 tn?1221568141 t really speak to your question of vitamins and minerals being directly linked to anxiety, but I do know that many people feel that the suppliments they take help with their stress or at least, help their body deal with it. It would take someone far more qualified than me to give you a difinitive answer about that. (Sorry!) Since you are seeing a therapist, he/she should be able to answer these questions for you. Let us know what you find out! There are many folks here who would be interested.
