I have been taking Clonazepan for it and it works fine but it isn't on my new insurance formulary. So I called my neuro and she ordered Baclofen. Any ideas how this works with you all? Only problem is that it is a teir 3!!!!!! I may just call the pharmacy and see how much Clonazepan is without insurance.

What the heck? Clonazepam is generic and has been for over 10 years. How can it be 3rd tier???
I looked at Costco.com and their price is $8.95 for 30 of the .5mg, $9.68 for 50, and $11.13 for 100.

Wait a minute! Did you say Baclofen is tier 3? That is also generic and I've seen it on Wal-Mart's $4 generic list. Only problem with that for me is that I take way more than 30 balcofen in a month (more like 240 per month), so my $10 copay is cheaper.
I went back to Costco and looked at baclofen and it is $5.69 for 30 of the 10mg, $7.21 for 50, and $10.34 for 100. So, it is even cheaper than the clonazepam. What the heck kind of insurance plan is this that is excluding and charging high copays for generic drugs. I'll bet your copay for 3rd tier would be more than just buying either drug retail. Sounds like you are getting ripped off.

I take a generic form of Requip, which is a parkinson's medication approved for restless leg syndrome. It works fine as long as I take it on time. If I'm late, then I suffer leg movements until 1 or 2 am.
Baclofen? Really? I thought that was for spasms.

Sorry for my misinformation. She did prescribe Baclofen and it does come in a generic so it is only $4. Clonazepam is not on the formulary for my new insurance. I am going to try the Baclofen and will stay on it if it works. But if it doesn't I kn ow that I can still get it at Sam's for a very reasonable price without insurance paying for it. Thanks
