I saw my neurologist today and my dosage has been increased to 1000 mg twice a day. Noticed that my pharmacy filled it with a different manufacturer but whatever. On a lark, I looked online on my Rx plan, and of all weird things, the 1000 mg strength is considered formulary for the brand name and while still a bit more than generic, is not the insanity of my previous dose, where one month is $276! Since I'm still being titrated, I can't go for the mail order 90 day pricing just yet!! But how positively strange that 1000 mg is considered formulary so that while still costing a good 5 times more than the generic, is not the complete outrageousness that brand name of the 750 mg tablets is. Hence, I could get the name brand for $50/month or $125 via mail order, 90 days. Generic is the same $10 for all strengths. (and $25 for 90 days mail order, where 90 days of brand name 1000 mg would be $125. (which is a heck of a lot less than $747 that the 750 brand name is!!)
Weird-what is the deal with that one??
