I max my benefits out in February, then the donut hole until I fill my August scripts which are under $100 until it restarts in January.

I did the math on co-pays for the year, it comes to $200 per month. I don't know why they don't just charge $200 a month. It makes too much sense.







I don't know many people on oxycontin, most are on percocet with tylenol or the oxycodone without tylenol. Then there are others on morphine, methadone or the one everyone is dying from, fentanyl. I'm talking knowing 20 or more people on medication, only two were on oxycontin.

It's just a matter of time that one or all of the other meds I listed will also have a lawsuit in the near future.

People, I should say addicts, only wanted oxycontin original. When they put the coating on it no one wanted it any more. Original oxycontin has been gone for at least 15 years now.

Every med can be abused. I know of someone addicted to Lyrica or Neurontin which is not a narcotic, it still causes addiction.

The Oxy plague finally caught the attention of the medical profession and rules were changed
Oxy is much less proscribed now—
My daughter has a bad back and it seized up last weekend
She had to go to the ER and they gave her RX for Oxy — a small number of pills—and she really didn’t use all of them but her muscle relaxants were not working fast enough or she was overdoing her activity

I had dental surgery couple of years ago and was told to take Tylenol or Advil—only ITC stuff
Doctors are just very watchful
In fact the AMA has had to reverse some of. It’s “advised” protocols for pain management because doctors took it too much to heart and made end of life pain meds less strong and patients were in pain…not supposed to happen that way

But Cuban’s site doesn’t do pain meds—no class 3 drugs—

If Cuban's Cost Plus ever has a better price on Itraconazole, I'll consider it.

Have you looked at GoodRX? I saw Walgreens, 30 pills- $169.86.Also saw GoodRX gold with cheaper prices. But I don't how the Gold plan works. It did say try Gold one month free. Found thencost-- Looks like the cost after free month is 9.99! And that includes no scripts. But there was a lower script-$28,70

Hope this helps!
