Hello everyone,
I have had chronic pain for 10 years.I have Medicare as I am on SSD. I
had to pay 3,800.00 out of pocket for my prescriptions because
Oxycontin costs so damn much. I am going to ask my PM doc to put me on
Methadone. I was on it once a couple of years ago, but I had a
different PM doc then and he had me at a way low dose and didn't give
me anything for Oxy withdrawl, so I went back on the Oxy because I was
nine kinds of MISERABLE.
Anyway, my PM doc now is top notch and I couldn't say enough wonderful
things about her. Does anyone know how much Methadone costs in
relation to Oxycontin? If I pay cash for my Oxycontin every month it
would be 1,200.00 Thats just crazy.
My pharmacist that I had upstate told me it is around 20-30 dollars a
month for a usual dosage.
I don't want to have to shell out another almost 4 grand next year
just to stay out of pain. Its hard enough being disabled and living in
New York City.
Thanks in advance to any one that can help.
Pain free blessings everyone,
Jeremiah
