Anti-Depressants.....
Fri, 07/28/2006 - 19:18Topic: Medication Issues
Hi all,
I am gearing up for my epilepsy surgery next month. My doctor has prescribed an anti-depressant for me to take while I wait for the date to approach and also for after the surgery. To help with the adjustment period.
She prescribed Lexapro. When we went to pick it up we had to pay $50. My husband through a fit and took it back. I was wondering if there are any other anti-depressants out there, with few side effects and that aren't so costly. I know some of you are thinking, $50 isn't that big of a deal. That is with our insurance card. We need to find one that is a little less.
HELP!!!!!!

Hi Keri, I take Celexa I hope it works out for you. Just to let you know cash price for it is around $50 here in California. Oh and for those Anxiety/Panic Attacks...Xanax works for me!
