The doctor I went to was so nice and helpful, and her fee is less expensive than the usual, so I should be able to afford to go back to her. I'm getting my meds filled at Walmart, $10 for a 90 day supply of Prozac, and $11 for a 60 day supply of Xanax! I can't believe all this time I assumed I couldn't afford it! I didn't think a doctor would give me a 90 day supply right off the bat like that. But I explained my situation and she was very understanding. She also: told me where there was a United Way place that does counseling on a sliding scale basis, showed me some breathing techniques for my anxiety, and agreed that a sales job probably wouldn't be a good choice for me. All this from a Family Practitioner! So all in all it was a really good visit! I feel better already, like maybe I'm beginning to regain some control over my life.
