Why are my antidepressants so expensive?

Numerous factors determine why antidepressants—and many medications in the U.S.—are increasing in price, one being that there are no regulations to stop drug price increases. 

In fact, medication affordability is often the driving factor in determining medication therapy. While your healthcare provider is the best person to determine which medication is best for you, there are options to make Surmontil or other antidepressants more affordable.

As the drug expert in the community, the pharmacist is the best person to answer questions related to the cost, availability of a less expensive generic version or determine if a therapeutic alternative is available. The pharmacist may also be able to work with your doctor to find a more affordable option.Below are a few savings possibilities to discuss with your doctor and pharmacist.
