Help me get off these meds! Pay-what-you-can commissions
15 years ago
I'm currently open for Pay What You Can commissions. Essentially, you tell me your price range and about what you'd like, and I draw the equivalent worth. Icons, character art, badges, Tamas, whatever!
I'm willing to do quite a bit of haggling, and will probably put a little extra oomph in wherever I can.
I am on a very expensive, generic-unavailable, and highly addictive SNRI medication, and I can no longer afford it on top of my others. Without free samples, one month's supply costs $500 (I'm uninsured). I've decided to get off of it. Because of the highly addictive nature and the length of time I've been on the medicine, I will take a while to withdraw safely. I'm going to try to step down from my dose within a month, so I need to make around $500. I'm kind of scared though, because dosages are supposed to be slowly tapered off for 6-10 weeks, and that's definitely more than a bottle's worth. I'm at risk of more seizures and other nasty things.
Right now I'm in between jobs (left my last one due to sexual harassment) but out hunting every day. Unfortunately, due to my location, all the minimum wage jobs are taken up by students who are out of school for the summer. I'm hoping that will change once school starts again. Until then, I'm at the mercy of my customers.
Please help, even a few bucks will go a long way. I can accept checks, USPS issued money orders, well-concealed cash, and PayPal.
The Paypal address is rdaniel[at]aol.com
Even donations will be rewarded with something.
Thank you so much for reading all of that.
And, if it isn't too much trouble to ask, I would really appreciate it if anyone wants to help me spread the word about my situation and commissions.
(sorry for re-posting the journal, I had to make an edit regarding the time line of me tapering down the dosage and hope that people will see it if the journal pops up again)

But if you ever do have enough money that you're comfortable spending it on commissions, I'm always open :)
At the moment I can't afford anything but mid month is a possibility if your still needing funds then. My job only pays twice a month... its weird.
Other than that all I can say is trust your better judgement, if something doesnt feel right its there for a reason. *hugs* I wish there was more that I can do but, I honestly don't know what. Just be careful and be safe.
I will probably still need help for a little while, because if I have to get the meds without $500, I may ask a family member to loan me a little, and just pay them back later. Though I really really don't want to sink to the level of begging my family for money, and they aren't exactly the commission type so I can't work for it.
Once you get paid, if you're still interested, I'm not closing down commissions any time soon.
Thank you for the supportive words, they really mean a lot right now while I'm in a very dark place.
And thank you, anything you could spare, even a couple bucks, would help me out tremendously.
Meds sucks, I just got off my $400 medication...it was switched out with a less helpful, yet cheaper medication.
And what would you like in return?
