Thumbs up My expensive pain medication dropped substantially in price!

I'm not sure if it went generic, or was generic and really expensive before.

What I do know is, my Cesamet is no longer called "Cesamet/Nabilone". It's simply "Nabilone" now.

I'm used to paying $35 out of pocket (after 90% insurance) for 1 month's supply (90 pills, 3 per day).

The pharmacist advised me that while it's the same medication, the 'look' may be different (they're marked different on the capsules, and the color of the capsules is a bit different) and there's a sticker on the bottle as well advising of such.

I purchased a few other items and just swiped the Credit Card per usual routine, not really noticing the cost until I looked at my receipt when I got home...

My 90 pills, following insurance's 90% coverage, cost me $16 out of pocket!

Still costly without the insurance, but my out of pocket has dropped substantially!

(this is the medication I take for my neuralgia pain pressure that I have on the left side of my head, it's the only medication for me that's helped this pain at all)
