Venting the price of meds is making me more pessimistic

[apearl]

Whenever I tell my therapist that I want to ctb she always says its a chemical issue and I just need to get on meds. So I finially got on meds because she is basically telling me thats my only way to not want to ctb. But now they want to charge a 130$ copay for one of the two medicines I am on for depression.

I just feel like It's not worth it that much. Sn is half that price and only needs to be paid once.

So do you not want to ctb anymore now that you're on the meds, was the therapist correct?

There is a reason drug prices end up in political debate. Cost and insurance demands are the greatest limiting factors for access.
Do you have insurance?
Are you working?
Check around for copay assistance. Your Dr or pharmacy might be able to help.

Well no I have wanted to ctb everyday for years, I just felt slightly better on them. Pyschiatrist says that if i take a higher dose and a extra drug I will be "cured" though.

Cure is a strong word.
A mix of drugs and doses should make you feel better. The drugs and doses will vary over time. That is normal.
Your communicating with them will help keep things better without being over drugged. Not all drugs are for everyone.
