Wow $90 a month without insurance??? Crazy. Everyone pays $30 at the most here in australia, even without private insurance.
I guess we're quite lucky in that way. But you guys in the US get new meds a lot sooner than us (usually about 5 years sooner). For example, cymbalta only JUST came out in australia a few months ago, and its been in the US for like 5 years now?
