My psychiatrist is one of the most amazing. I am not able to afford the expense of the high dosage of Effexor XR I require to manage my major depressive disorder, but my income is too high as a single man to qualify for PAP and TogetherRx doesn't provide assistance for products from Wyeth Pharmecuticals. She continues as much as possible to provide me with samples so that I will not have to buy generic medications from India or even worse, go without--since stopping the medicine suddenly generates "discontinuation effects"--a nice way of saying withdrawal symptoms so it doesn't sound like the drug is physically addictive. While I'm sure pharmaceutical companies frown on this practice, they themselves partially created it by making the cost of treating depression one of the triggers of depression itself by creating severe financial stress.
