Re: Medication changes/price differences

[Guest guest]

I am on Oxycodone and was paying cash for a long time. I would call around and

find huge price diferences of up to $100.00. Most of the pharmacies were very

close to each other. It is worth calling around for prices if you have to pay

for any type of meds.

Hi Lyndi

I am on oxycodone 20mg. I don't have to pay anything now " finally " but about 6

months ago they ranged anywhere between $80.00 and $120.00 mostly under $100.00

for 150. 4 or so years ago I was on Norco " hydrocodone " and those were from

$50.00 up to $150.00 from drug stores within a mile from each other. I also

noticed on the oxycodone at least that they were like gas where the price would

change from week to week, It's according to what the makers were charging.

Hey I have a curiosity question for anyone out there that has bugged me since

I've been having to take all these medications. Where do they grow the massive

amounts of opium plants to make some of this stuff. They can't grow it out in

fields like corn. Does the government or big pharma have huge grow houses. I am

curious by nature and this just really bugs me is all.

Take care
