Many people take medications for various things like blood pressure, water retention. diabetes, depression etc.

So---------what are the names of your meds and do you have to pay anything for them?

I really don't want to go get my tub of meds and list them...I take 18 different ones. Insurance covers most of the cost.

A lot of mine are generic. Can't recall which offhand.

Lexapro

Abilify

Linosopril

Metformin

Novolog 70/30 Mix Insulin

Tricor

Lovastatin

Metaprolol

Lortab

Insurance picks up almost everything. One of those drugs is almost $300 a month and without insurance no way could I afford to take it.

Mobic

Just popped a Flexeril

My favorite is my Ranitadine.



American taxpayers pick up my tab. Thanks guys!



How about you, Lon?

I have no thyroid gland so I take 175mm of Levoxyl daily

Insurance covers it---------$5.00 copay

inderol

crestor

nexium

My husband has a large list. It costs about $200+ per months for our meds, or more.

Ibuprofen 800 and Prednisone. I pay $4 each because Rite Aid matches WalMart prices. YAY!

My beloved takes that. It's a horse pill!

You should try one for your back! I have more trouble swallowing the tiny prednisone than I do the ibuprofen.

I've been taking mobic for a few weeks for another problem. I don't know if they mix.

How do you manage that Ac?

US Air Force retired. Part of my benefit package is health insurance through Tricare (Humana). The monthly payment comes out of my retirement check. Drugs are at no additional cost to me if I get them on base, and San Antonio has almost as many bases as Starbucks.

Diovan, Zantac, Lipitor and when needed Naprosen and if necessary Viocodin. I only pay a co-pay of $10 for each med a month.

Elmiron .......... 200.00 per month

Clonzepam.......25.00 per month

Aromasin..........200.00 per month

Cymbalta..........200.00 per month



hubby has 90% coverage at work, thank god.

Thorazine coupled with twice daily shock treatments.

I liiiiike it !

i'm on one medication, my blood pressure went up while i was pregnant, and after Jacob was born it didn't go down enough to suit the doctor so she put me on Diovan.

my insurance pays for half of it!

My father-in-law and my brother-in-law both get their meds and their medical care with no cost to them, through our local veterans hospital.

Dosulepin and zopiclone - £7.10 each prescription which is usually 3 months worth. Good old NHS!

Piriton £3.35 for a months supply, could get them free but I never go to the doctors.

Would it be worth getting them on a repeat prescription?

Co-dydramol and Feldene gel...

No - I don't pay for them

Yes it probably would, but I'll have to go for that initial appointment won't I. I generally wait til I'm ill and have to go :wah:

If it's a tiny pink tablet we call it Prednisolone and you can dissolve it in a few drops of water, then just drink the water. Thats how my daughter takes it.

I use Mixtard which is injectable insulin. That's all. But then I also need needles to inject with, needles to do blood glucose tests, blood glucose testing strips. However, once you're diagnosed as diabetic all your meds become free for life.

My daughter was a chronic asthmatic as a baby. She could have opened a pharmacy with all the things she needed to take care of her. One box of nebules cost £75.00 and she needed at least one box every 3 weeks for years. Thank God for the NHS! Being under 18, everything she needed was free.

Med free here:D

man i wish i was still med free, i have been all my life until i got high blood pressure when i was pregnant, now i'm having such a hard time remembering to take my medicine, because i've never had to get in the habit of taking something everyday before!

speaking of which, let me go take my pill now, i've forgotten it again! :-5

:wah::wah: That's what most people say when they see my list. I have to carry a copy of them all the time. It's not that I'm that screwed up, I'm just very medication resistant. For example, I take 3 cholesterol meds and that barely keeps me close to what I'm supposed to be at...and I don't have a high fat diet. Lots of my meds are 2 for 1 thing. I have a 7days a week, 4 times a day container and I fill it up on Saturday nights so I don't have to mess with it for the rest of the week. I'm not dying right now...at least not that I know of! :wah::wah:

wow! i'm actually the exact opposite of that, it takes very little medication for me, i actually have to watch how much i take of anything! :rolleyes:
