I think that many of the drug companies have programs to subsidize meds for people who can't afford them, the idea being to forestall legislation to rein in their outrageous prices. I always keep the cost of a particular med in mind when evaluating whether or not to take it (and I have insurance), as there are often lower cost meds available that will get the job done, though, sometimes with more side effects. However, if you're taking something unique and relatively expensive, as I know some of the atypical antipsychotics are, I realize you may not have a lot of choice.
