Welcome here friend.
I sure hope that is the 10mg nortrip you are on that you are increasing!
I really don't understand insurance companies...they just torture the patients.
Cymbalta, and fentanyl are not good medical interventions. Cymbalta is expensive and Fentanyl is habit forming... The others are available generically and I can see a tier thing with them. But the other two just defy logic.
Lidoderms are expensive, but I think fentanyl is comparable or even less. I feel really lucky to get 90 Lidoderms/90 days for $35.00. And more than lucky since I haven't had to use them lately... but you never know!
You should contact your insurance and ask about prior authorization procedures.
Some have in place policies to allow your doctor to by-pass some of the rules.
Take care.
