I think I may stop taking it.

Definitely check back in and let us know how that plays out

The manufacturers often give your insurance further discounts for agreeing to carry such expensive drugs in their formulary. If you are looking at the average wholesale price printed on the pharmacy’s labeling, it’s marked up a good bit over what your insurance actually paid. Don’t suddenly stop taking it.

ETA Ridiculously high drug prices do burden Americans most. We definitely need to address this problem.

shite, he can do a half gram of blow per day at these numbers.

Change your diet, stop or limit drinking, lose some weight, start exercising, and limit screen time. Seriously it does wonders. I am aware some situations get to a point that medication may be needed ,but give what I mentioned a try it helped me alot and it definitely won't hurt you.

It’s all a money scam. That shite doesn’t cost that much to make.

I feel a little guilty taking such expensive meds.

Why would you feel guilty about that? Did you personally set the price of said medication?

Obviously... but research and clinical trials are pretty costly.

1. Why?

2. How costly?

If a prescription costs $1200/month, a mere 10k people taking it would net $144 million a year.

I can one up ya.
Humira is $5000 a month and I only pay $5.

Paying thousands a year on Insurance, I say frick em.
