128.00 focalin xr but doc just gave me a card for 40 dollors a mth which is good for 3 mths.The price of meds is high but the money the meds are saving me with my impulsiveness there is no comparison

Yes i agree...my daughter is on adderal xr and it's costing us $150 bucks a month..with no coverage...here in Canada they don't cover certain drugs that are new to Canada and Adderal is one of them...

oh god yes. I have no insurance, I can't afford it on what little income I can get. I have to pay $166. a month to get my Adderall XR. I've been trying to get some help but every where I turn falls through. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's taking most of my paycheck and I'm getting sick of it...

I only have to pay $2.10 every month for my ADHD medicine because I have medicare and medicaid. Dawn

i pay 20 a month for my concerta. i can probably save if i start mail order. i'll get 3 moths worth but only pay 60 bucks. but i have other issues plus my copay to the pdoc and it really adds up for a college student

i've had to quit taking my bp meds, and add meds cause i just can't afford keep seeing my doc and my meds. it's rediculous. there is a "free" clinic but my ex told me it's not so free. he had to pay. it's all confusing to me and makes me made, so i just have no patience to it.

I think it's horrible that people who really need these meds can't afford them. I'm worried that after my certain number of allowed visits to my doctor are over, I won't be able to afford it either, then will have to resort possibly to illegal ways of getting it, or maybe that's even more expensive. This is making such a huge difference for me and it just isn't right that this should be unaffordable for people who can become better contributors to society by being on these meds.

i totally agree with u on #7, society would be better and less people on disability if we were able to afford our meds that make it possible for us to work, and try having a normal life. companies are more concerned about money rather than a human beings well being and mental health status. and most people with mental health dx aren't even considered a real illness. it to me, it's not a disability as doctors see it and put it out to be, i feel they see it just as human emotions. gggggrrrrrr the price of meds is rediculous.
