I've been on generic methadone for 20 years. It's the ONLY thing that stops the burn. Although it's not perfect, I only pay $20 for a mos. supply @ 60 mg/day.
It's part of a cocktail, of course, with Diazepam, zanaflex,(bedtime), Cymbalta, and migraine meds. Eat well, and you may also need some vitamins but, that's another subject.

Its that expensive for the Norco though? I know at Sams Club, and Costco (not sure where you live) you can also go there without having a membership. Their meds are cheaper than cvs and other pharmacies, and they have programs through their pharmacy to help out uninsured patients that REALLY help... maybe look into those... I know many pharmacies have those... But I am for sure that Sams Club, Maybe Walmart, and Costco have them! Good luck!

Yes, that expensive, Hannah...I get 240 10/325 generic. I just checked Walmart and they are $149 there. We have no Costco or Sam's Club near us, so I guess I will have to take the $99 script. Especially, since it's hard enough to get pain pills that work.

Have you tried the diladid? It works wonders more than norco and maybe it is cheaper? It is a stronger narcotic as well so you wouldnt need as much. Maybe call the pharmacy or your dr and ask how much you would need to take and call the pharmacy and ask how much. Unless it works, then keep the norco!!!

Also, look for coupons for groceries!!!! Alot of times there are 10-25$ gift card coupons for pharmacys (cvs, riteaid, etc, and other pharmacies will match it, or even target!) for new perscriptions so you can buy some household stuff and save on your rx. Also, check local newspapers for coupons... and there is websites online for coupons for things that you use daily and that could save maybe the cost of your perscription a month!!!


And I noticed the cost of ALL my medications went up too

Cindi, I know methadone is great for pain and is very very cheap- when i was on it, it was like $10. for a bottle.

You may want to check out the National Association for Injured and Disabled Workers. It is free to sign up. You DO NOT have to have been hurt on the job or related to your job. It's for anyone that has a disability. Signing up allows you access to their prescription reduction program, especially if you don't have insurance. I'm not sure if we are allowed to post websites or I would put it here for you. Also you can contact the brand name maker of the drug and almost all have a reduced cost program. Those companies don't mind keeping us on their drugs But take advantage of that fact and see if they have a program to help you. If you need the website for the NAIDW let me know. Hope you are able to find something cheaper that works!!
