Edit: update, the prescription was sent not to CVS, but to the local compounding pharmacy, which screwed up my betahistine in the past, sigh. Since it is a compound it is not covered by insurance. The cost is $70 for a months supply, which to me is simply outrageous.

The cost per 50mg tab of naltrexone averages about $2.50. Taking 4.5mgs per day I would need approx. 3 tabs per month, at an approx cost of $7.50 per month.

Please share your thoughts. I am open to all suggestions. I hate to continue to get LDN online, but I may be financially forced into it, but at least now I have been prescribed it.
If you really are interested in trying this medication, I would call around to different compounding pharmacies for pricing options, as they vary greatly. I tried LDN, unfortunately it did not work for me, but I only paid $35/month for it. I take oral ketamine, which I get compounded, and I use an out of town pharmacy, which was the cheapest and they ship it to me every month. I have been doing this for over a year and a half now and have had no problems. So call around and consider small town or out of town pharmacies, as they sometimes have the best rates (usually less than half). Good luck and I hope you get good results and good price!
