      When I was on my parents insurance, the first 1-2 fills of the year were $11/pill and ~$1.20/pill after that (20mg). Now that I’m on my own insurance, it’s $2.50/pill year round.

      That means if I take it every day, it’s ~$900/year

        For daily, it’s $400 USD/month for me for with my insurance at the moment. Not trying to minimize your position, but offering another anecdote how wildly screwed pricing/insurance is. I just hope my insurance accepts the generic 🤞

          I was just in the same boat! $400 a month was a real kick in the head. I recently got a new job and the price is down to $25. I happy they have generics now!

        $900 a year to become a functional human seems like a killer deal ngl

        I spend more than 900 a year on way more stupid shit

          Having to spend almost a 1000 dollars just to be functional isn’t great, it sucks. Bringing you up to baseline should be free/virtually free imo

            And your ideology doesn’t even matter, even if you’re a hardcore capitalist it’s more beneficial to the economy to freely give the support needed to enable people to become productive.

      Jesus, it’s insane… I’m in Quebec, my Vyvanse and Escitalopram together cost me less than $40/month w/ 80% coverage, so about $200 if I paid out of pocket…
