How To Get Low-Cost or Free Psychiatric Medications
Do you need help paying for psychiatric medications? There's an organization named Partnership for Prescription Assistance which may be able to help. The group, which counts almost every U.S. pharmaceutical company as a member, helps qualifying patients without prescription drug coverage get the medical and mental health medicines they need for free or nearly free. You can visit their website or call 1-888-477-2669 and learn whether you're eligible for a patient assistance program. A trained specialist will ask a series of short questions and help identify the right patient assistance program you.
Beware, there are lots of scam groups online which purport to do the same thing...for a fee. This is completely free and a legitimate source of help.
