I too was recently weaned off my antidepressants (my choice) with my doctors ok. Don't believe they were helping. Wanted to start me on a different medication but unfortunately the drug company doesn't have a generic. Way too expensive for me approximately 300.00. Handling it day by day.

Hi, @susan1954 - I have been through similar challenges with my asthma inhalers not having a generic (none of them do, unfortunately) and sometimes having coupons available, sometimes nothing to improve a $300+ per month medication I really needed. Very tough position.

With changing to another antidepressant, does your doctor perhaps have another idea of a medication that might not be so costly? How are you doing with no antidepressant the last day or so?
