Meds are too expensive for me

I have just come out of hospital after having had an AD change over. The new ones seem to be working. I went to get a repeat script for them from the chemist today and the price was $65 for 2 weeks worth of meds! I am a pensioner, and on other meds, so I have other medical costs, and also enjoy having the occasional meal.

Now I don't know what is going to happen. Mew meds are good, and I sure as hell don't want to go back into hospital. But the expense is unsustainable. The anxiety now is just refuelling my extreme depression again. How could I be put into this situation?

dear Longbob, I would check with your doctor in regards to this, because being a pensioner you should not have to pay the full amount, which would mean that it's not on PBS, maybe try the generic brand, but please ask your GP or psychiatrist. Geoff.
