I was put on Pristique two months ago and for the first time in my LIFE I actually feel "normal". I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder 20 years ago and have been on just about every prescription in the book, and nothing ever worked. They may have worked for a little while, but I never quite felt "myself". I truly feel Pristiq is the right drug for me.
Unfortunately, my first two months on Pristiq were samples and a free 1 month trial from the manufacturer and I had to purchase my own prescription on Friday. I found out that my insurance carrier would not cover the drug and I have to pay $176 a month on my own. I cannot afford this. Are there any other alternatives to this drug that work in a similar manner? I have called my Primary Care Physician, but he has not returned my calls, and I feel that although he knows my medical health best, he may not be knowledgeable enough in this particular matter.
