My daughter is 21, married, and has a 2-1/2 year old son. Her mother died about 6 yrs ago and, as you might expect, it had a huge, traumatic impact. She had Medicare coverage during her pregnancy and for a time afterward. During this time she was seeing a psychologist for her depression and anxiety. Se also suffered from bowel disorders sincce she was a child, which was alternately diagnosed as IBS and/or Chrones Disease. We even thought perhaps she had Herschprungs Desease, after these symptoms also got much worse after her baby was born. She inadvertently missed renewing her Medicare and lost her coverage, and has been denied renewal ever since (nearly 2 years now). Without access to her medication, her mental & emotional state spiraled downward. Actually to the point of pulling her own hair out. Recently she happened upon an acquaintance who had been on Zoloft, but had her prescription changed recently. This person still had a small amount of Zoloft, and offered to my daughter if she wanted to give it a try. Being desperate, she accepted the 100 mg pills and started taking 1/2 a pill (50 mg). It has transformed her life. She is now active and vibrant again, and even moves her bowels a little each morning. She manages her 2 yr old much easier as well, as you might expect. She says there is a local clinic where she can obtain additional Zoloft and, presumably, continue her new life and perhaps even return to nursing school, from which she was expelled several moths ago because she missed too much time, being sick with her bowel issues. So, that's my/her story. Can you offer any thoughts or advice at this point? Thank you.
