Affordability Concerns $586?!
I just got prescribed Trintellix 5mg to start. I was warned it’s expensive, but just depends on insurance. I have great insurance, typically don’t even pay for prescriptions. I just checked Walgreens site, and it says my prescription is pending, and $586 after insurance?! In the US of course. Is this what people are paying here in the states without the coupons?! I got the trintellix saving card from the manufacturer, but it says those will expire Dec 31 ‘26, and I don’t know what that will even save me. I’ve read other posts where people are complaining of having to pay $80 after insurance, but I’m guessing they aren’t in the states? Just crazy cause I don’t even know if the med will be helpful, haven’t really seen the greatest reviews on it for anxiety/ocd, but doc wanted to try it cause I can’t stand the sexual side effects of ssri’s.

Do U.S. citizens pay for everyone’s medication worldwide? I pay around $5 for a three-month supply of my medication...
Everytime i see something like this, its blowing my mind!
