Bah!

Before work I dropped off my refill for my birth control at Walgreens. I got like $8 in tips tonight which was a little disappointing, but I only took three deliveries so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I go by Walgreens on the way home to pick up my refill and find that it's gone up! WTF?!?!?! It was $114....now it's $130! I guess it's

Is that $130 a month?

Cause, if it is, I might start looking into alternative birth control... I thought the NuvaRing was expensive at $50.

[catgoddess]

No, it's $130 for three months. But the $114 for three months equaled out what I paid for the birth control I was on before every month....that is three months of the OrthoTricylin would equal the same as what I am paying for the Seasonale I'm on now.

Baah. I need to get a new prescription soon but I can't handle the cost :/

[catgoddess]

I can barely handle it myself, but it helps that I only have to find the money every third month. I gotta see if maybe there's a cheaper place to get it from though....or find some insurance that will pay for it.

Mine went up from 20 to 30 a month. The pharmacist said it's because there is now a generic form available (which my gyno told me not to get). Such crap!!!

[catgoddess]

Did he tell you why you shouldn't get the generic? I just assumed the generic was the same as the name brand except cheaper for some reason. I'm sure there's a reason....I'd just rather not know it, you know?

She is a super cautious doctor (which is why I love her). I think that maybe all it is, she just doesn't trust generic brands.
