.. of course our co-pays set amounts for like 30 day supply, independent of that dose per pill ... which of course explains what looks like you're getting a bargain compared to me: twice the lex at the same "price" (copay) .... but you know all that ... ...whereas we may believe the $78 (or whatever price) is a real world patient cost and would be like $2.60/20mg pill ... compared to your 84cents/pill ... ... maybe ... i could try to look up online prices for lex ...
more to my point is the very idea of ANYONE (other than your own health care professional and your own self) choosing your antidepressant
IS INSANE !!!!!!!
thanks for letting me vent some more!
