I count 13 generic manufacturers: search lisdexamfetamine on https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/ob/search_product.cfm
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.
