Coco,

I can relate to what you are saying. When I file my taxes I spend aprox $8K just on meds annually. Abilify is the most expensive and it won't be generic until 2015.

When I was in graduate school I made friends with a girl who worked for pfizer. She said they have 80-90% profit margins on some medications. Why? for R&D. It's such a flipping con game.

And generic drugs only have to be about 80% of the original complex. These are often made in India under questionable conditions I would imagine Ephedrine for meth was also shipped in from Indian pharmacies illegally.
