What kind of insurance do you have?? I have Blue Cross Blue Shield...

currently paying:
Lidocaine patches- $10
Amitriptyline, Neurontin, Celebrex, Methadone- $3 each
Baclofen- $10
Lyrica- $40

Is it that my meds are cheaper or my insurance is better? I know I have good insurance, but wasn't sure on this one.

I think I pay more for all the vitamins/ herbs and supplements than I do on meds!! Though just these meds get expensive enough for my parents~ with 11 children, me/ PDD NOS brother/ severely autistic brother and mom (with hypertension) all on meds...! (you can imagine!)


With medical bills there's a $450 out of pocket deductible, and then $15 co pays for PCP visits, and $25 co pays for specialists.

So, yesterday, with the nail surgery it was $150 (since we still had money left to pay on my deductible) and $25 for the visit.

I know I am blessed with this insurance... I can go to "better" doctors than I could with most insurances.


Interesting thread! I can't think of a trick other than taking as little meds as possible...
