As I discussed in my last blog post, after running out of 8mg Suboxone tablets, I got a refill from my doctor for 14 2mg tablets.
Today, I had 1 tablet left on file, and went to get it filled before class at my usual pharmacy. This pharmacy is by far the cheapest in my area.
So, I walk in and ask to get it filled, and as I am paying, the pharmacist tells me this single 2mg tablet is going to be $9.99!
I was stunned. I thought it had to be a mistake. 2mg are far more expensive per milligram than the 8mg tablets, but I couldn't believe it. Come to find out, there is a $9.99 minimum purchase.
I needed the fucking thing, so I just paid and left. But I wonder if this minimum is just on Suboxone, or if it is all narcotics.
I've gotten my Citalopram filled there before, and had to pay only $4 for a one-month supply.
It is insane, but obviously I had no choice but to pay. Has anyone else experienced this?
