I take Fetzima and Viibryd, both of which have no generic. I went on Medicare last November and was also concerned about the cost.
I don't know your financial situation but if you are low income you can get "Extra Help". This will pay your monthly premium and cover most of the cost of your prescriptions. I only pay $4.00 for my Fetzima prescription (one month supply) and same for Viibryd. I have Wellcare prescription drug plan. If you get Medicare you must choose a drug plan. The best thing is to call Medicare. 1 (800) MEDICARE. They are there 24 hours. They will tell you what you are eligible for. They will look up drug plans and check if they cover your meds. You may want preaurho

You may need pre-authorizatiom from your doctor. It's a form the doctor fills out stating you need this drug and how long you've been on it. Don't call the phone numbers the celebraties advertise on TV. They work for insurance companies and get commissions. They don't have your best interests in mind. Call Medicare directly.
Good Luck! I hope I helped.
