I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I get my Seroquel/quetiapine from Canada and it's much more reasonable than the brand name. The full retail price is a killer. Everything is above-board and I send in my Rx. 300mg is more expensive than 100mg, whereas 100mg is cheaper than 50mg for some reason.
Generic Lexapro at 5mg is less than $1/day. And it appears that 10mg is 1/3 cheaper...perhaps you could use a pill splitter and pay $0.10/day.
$$$ is unfortunately a big factor in choosing drugs (for some people) and it would suck to limit your options because of that. I have always made my current financial limits clear to my doctor and she has supported my efforts to cut costs. I don't have insurance, BTW.
I hope you are able to set a reasonable cap on your moods so you can think clearly and sleep. Conversely, you may need something to help with anxiety and depression. Push and pull. Maybe get the main features you need and then you can evaluate how to fill in the gaps with other methods.
Best of luck.
