Hey everyone,

Hope that all is well. I was wondering whats the craziest price for a med you have ever heard of. Mines would be Abilify here in the Bahamas. 600 dollars for a two week dose. When I first went to my doc he prescribed Abilify for me but after hearing the price, no way I could afford it, so I tried Seroquel, which was substantially cheaper. Didn't work for me though. When I then went to my old pdoc he prescribed Zyprexa which is cheap in price here for the generic. Atleast with insurance. I pay about twenty five dollars for a months supply of the 10mg tablets. Whats the craziest most costly price for any med you have heard off. A bit off topic but was just curious.

Thanks

Bigmike

My Invega costs $1800 a month without insurance. The emsam is $1200. Thankfully insurance covers them so I only pay $20 for both.

Please check out Blink Health app... I was going to have to pay $400+ for Modafinil b/c insurance wouldn't cover off label use.
I paid $133
for one month of 200mg..
I break in half so it lasts me 60 days at $2.22 a day....better than not taking it at all

Seroquel was somewhere in the $1000s for me. Of course I didn't pay that
