Default Lidocaine patches
Well, I did just go to the Endo Pharmaceuticals website and asked if they have a program to help with the patches. That, in itself, would be helpful. If I could just get those for less, it would make things easier. I'm purposely not putting them on - when I'm in pain - because I'm trying to use them sparingly...

I'm also going to start Lyrica this weekend for the first time. That's another reason why I'm paying so much. Lyrica is double than Neurontin. So, we'll see how this goes.

Thank you everyone.

Default Hi,
If you don't get an answer through their website DO call them. Most companies have a department that deals with the free meds. You usually get a very nice person that will send you out an application so you can see if you qualify.

Did you by any chance find a tollfree no. for them?

No, I wasn't able to find an 800 number. Interestingly enough, they didn't have a phone number on their website that I could find, either.

Default Hi,
I PM'd you.

I always was able to get toll free nos. from my Pharmacist. Let me know the name of the company by PMing me and I will call if not today to try and get you one.

Default Hi
I called the pharmacy and they came up with two toll free nos. for Endo.
1-800-892-6131 and 1-800-462-3636. Steve said they will most likely have to direct you to the right department.

http://i.walmart.com/i/if/hmp/fusion...icdruglist.pdf

It's quite an extensive list. One month's prescription is 30 pills for $4. Like with my baclofen, I take it 2 x's a day, 60 pills a month = $8 a month for prescription. I wasn't clear on that when I switched my scrip over so thought I'd put it here so no one else is confused about it. $8 is better than $20!

Hugs,

Karen

Hi all! I use Walmart and wow.. I like my plan I am on.. through my hubby's.. Xanax..$1.27 (90)Generic brand.
Gabapentin(Generic for neurontin) I pay for 60 capsules $27.00
EffeorXR- ($24.54) Brand name
Kadian($28.47) There is no generic brand. I did however contact the company and they gave me a $100.00 plastic card to use, yes even my insurance card takes it) so basically.. I pay nothing for awhile.. if not for my insurance card.. this stuff(Kadian) costs $134.00 for 30 pills"! Yikes!!So.. all in all.. I am happy with it. I also have "People's prescription plan" and that takes a lot off of it too(Money wise) Love, Desi

My insurance doesn't cover any of my meds. I seem to be on expensive ones too. My cymbalta is like 150 a month,the patches is like 160,etc. I could by a small island just kidding. If they worked for pain relief it would be worth it but they don't. I get so excited when I get a cheap med like when I switched from Lyrica to neurontin. I do go to Costco for some of my prescriptions and it is cheaper. I also now when I try a new med I get a week supply to start to see if bad side effects or see if the doc has any samples.

Norflex - $18

It's really expensive to pay this every month. I have a feeling that I pay alot less than some of you -
Ada, Do you have MEdicare part D? If so I found a lot of these medication for my daughter paid for with minimal copays and BRAND for $5 with AARD. You do not have to be a senior citizen either.
