We have generic zopiclone and zolpidem (Ambien, Stilnoct, Stilnox) in the UK.
On a private prescription, a months supply of 10mg zolpidem would cost you less than £7.00 (about $12.00). Brand name Stilnoct would be a bit more expensive.
Zopiclone (very similar to Lunesta) is less expensive. A months supply of 7.5mg on a private prescription would cost you about £5.30 ($9.30).
Temazepam is cheap here too. A months supply of 20mg would cost you about £4.00 ($7.00).
Meds are too expensive in the US. The pharm companies rip you off.
We pay £6.50 ($11.50) for all NHS prescriptions here but I thought you might be interested in the private (non-NHS) costs to compare them with the prices you have to pay.
Fluoxetine (generic Prozac) is particularly cheap here. On a private prescription, a months supply of 20mg would cost you about £4.00 ($7.00).
