just a heads-up about seroquel for 2011

(note: this is for those of us who are on medicare and get our medicines through medicare part D)

i received my formulary list and tier costs today for my aarp medicare rx prescription plan.

seroquel has been moved from "tier 2" to "tier 3" which will raise it's copay by over $30 a month if you get your meds through medicare part d. **but check your plans to make sure that this may be only mine that did this**

however, in their infinite wisdom and ongoing stupidity, the pharmaceutical giants that make seroquel kept seroquel XR at tier 2, which only went up $2 for 2011 in my aarp drug plan.

i called my pharmacist about the difference and she said the only difference is that seroquel xr is spread out throughout the day instead of a heavy dose initially to the brain.

just another fly in the ointment...now instead of sleeping "only" 12 hours, it will be 24.

just don't have it in me at the moment to look for another med supplier, but may have to. please post any info you have if yours stayed tier 2 ? thanks.
