Edit: update, the prescription was sent not to CVS, but to the local compounding pharmacy, which screwed up my betahistine in the past, sigh. Since it is a compound it is not covered by insurance. The cost is $70 for a months supply, which to me is simply outrageous.

The cost per 50mg tab of naltrexone averages about $2.50. Taking 4.5mgs per day I would need approx. 3 tabs per month, at an approx cost of $7.50 per month.

Please share your thoughts. I am open to all suggestions. I hate to continue to get LDN online, but I may be financially forced into it, but at least now I have been prescribed it.
I have no clue of what you can do about it. Different countries and all...

I once had a massive cost for my meds, Neurontin wasn't insured back then, and we are a government insured (everybody is insured) country and medication usually isn't that expensive. So... it was hard. But I still shelled out the money for it, because yeah... I need the medication. That's what it all comes down to.
