Having trouble covering your Lexapro prescription costs? At The Rx Advocates, we understand how overwhelming budgeting for medication fees can be. For people managing depression or anxiety, consistent treatment isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for mental well-being and daily functioning.
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) offered by pharmaceutical companies can help you afford monthly medication, providing much higher discounts than simple coupons or savings cards. Even though programs can help you save tremendously, many people don’t even know they exist, or don’t apply because the process is too confusing. That’s where we come in. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through your application. Don’t let the high cost of Lexapro stop you from improving your mental well-being.
What is the Lexapro Patient Assistance Program?
Pharmaceutical manufacturers sponsor assistance programs specifically for patients managing mental health conditions who face financial barriers to treatment. Lexapro’s program ensures qualifying individuals maintain consistent access to antidepressant medication.
You provide prescription details and financial information. We provide the expertise. Our advocates coordinate with your psychiatrist or primary care provider, prepare all necessary documentation, submit applications to manufacturers, and track progress through approval. Once accepted, your medication ships directly to you each month.
We work directly with more than 100 pharmaceutical companies that offer patient assistance programs for over 800 FDA-approved medications. By qualifying for programs, you can fill your Lexapro prescription at significantly reduced prices compared to retail cost.
How to Qualify
While each pharmaceutical company establishes its own unique guidelines, there are certain requirements commonly shared across many initiatives:
- Annual income does not exceed $40,000 for individuals
- Annual income does not exceed $60,000 for couples
- Annual income does not exceed $100,000 for large families
- U.S. residency and valid prescription

About Lexapro
Lexapro is prescribed to treat major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder in adolescents 12 to 17 years old, as well as adults.
Active ingredient: Escitalopram increases levels of serotonin in the brain, regulating mood and emotions. By restoring serotonin balance, Lexapro alleviates depression and anxiety symptoms like persistent sadness, loss of interest, worry, and irritability.
Side effects:
- Common: Nausea, drowsiness, insomnia, dry mouth, increased sweating
- Serious: Serotonin syndrome, suicidal thoughts (especially in young adults), bleeding problems, low sodium levels
Cost factors: Research and development costs and expensive production facilities are accounted for in market prices. Additionally, manufacturer patent rights, limited competition, and healthcare system differences can inflate costs.
