Cherie - I just checked my blue shield benefits - and Cesamet is a covered drug. Since it is only brand - it is at the highest copay level, but it is covered.

I actually began taking it for my 'headaches', which were ultimately neuralgia. Tylenol/Advil/Aleve didn't cut through the ball of pain I had in 1 location daily for months. This stuff did.

A side effect can be headache from this med, but I've had an overall reduction in headache.

PS Thanks for the info about the insurance
