Zen and all who helped me here...
Here's what my gp and I decided. He suggested that I remain on Ambien because it's the best by far with a side-effect profile.
He said that if cost was a consideration that Restoril would be his favorite choice out of all of the ones listed on the formulary.
In the end I went with his recommendation. I get 90 pills fo $70 now with the mail-prescription refill source. So, it's not perfect but $23.34 per month is not bad for a med that I use maybe 3 times a week at the most...
So, that's the way it went... Now all my meds are mail order and come in 90 day supplies. I can't wait, I'll save at least 1/2..
Ooooo! And I have been taking 600mg of Neurontin per night... It is not generic at that strength. It is generic at 300mg. So, my wonderful gp rewrote the rx to 2 300mg gabapentin pills per night making it a $20 copay for 90 days instead of $40 with the 600mg...
What's with Neurontin and the generic strengths not coming out?
