Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
Most of the major pharmaceutical companies have programs for people without insurance to receive free or low cost medications. You can find out more about these programs: Free or Low Cost Medications
As far as withdrawal, this depends on the individual. Some people experience only mild symptoms of withdrawal and others have quite a bit of discomfort. You can read more: Antidepressant Withdrawal
