Just last week I paid a $63 copay and I only get 4 injections. My doctor agreed to let me get the 100 mg Imitrex pills, copay $50 for nine. I cut these in half to save money. We desperately need the generic version of this drug. 5-10 years ago I used to be able to obtain six of the Imitrex 6mg injections per refill with my $10 copay.

My insurance switched to me paying for 40% of my non-generic medications. I pay almost $10 per pill of Imitrex. I have switched over to Zomig for now because they have $35 off of each prescription and Zomig does the trick.. but I still pay $42 for 9 pills. I use around 9 pills/month. This is getting too expensive. Prescription insurance keeps restricting more and more. Something needs to be done. They keep moving the date when generic will be available back.. I can't believe that's been pushed back again. The generic won’t be available until January 2009 now? My insurance switched to me paying for 40% of my non-generic medications.
