Depression medication
Hi,
I was wondering if I person could recieve medication for depression (eg. cilift) from a government hospital. I am not on medical aid.
I know getting Cilift from a pharmacy costs about R300 but I am in alot of debt and I can't afford the medication.
I feel I need it and I don't really know what to do. I felt stronger and able to handle life better when I was on the medication... now I'm back to crying all the time for stupid things and i just hide away from the world.
Thank you

Depressed, I’m not sure that they will be able to give you Cilift®, but they will be able to give you something for depression that falls within the same class of drugs. Good luck.
