Like I said, I starting crying when my son's meds - no insurance - went from $1200-$1400 for 90 days to less than $200.
We had been buying clonopin and venlafaxine XR a few pills at a time - oh, and here is another "feature" - the fewer pills you can afford, the more expensive they are. Great for poor people!

I trot my little Costco story out too much, I know - but I think everyone who needs expensive meds should at least call them and ask.
