Medication cheaper from Boots?!?
Currently taking Xagglitin 56mg and I'm now at a stable dose with ADHD. This is great because I now get my 6 month checkups for free and I can order 2 month supply at once so I save £20 getting the prescription.
I usually get my meds via IHS directly. I pay ADHD Direct £20 for the prescription and then I pay IHS £45ish for the single month of meds. total of around 65. I messed up this month and actually chose the option to have the prescription itself mailed to me without the meds so I had to go into boots.
I was dreading it because it was my first 2 month supply and I expected boots to be more expensive. IHS would have been around £90 for the meds (45x2).
I handed over the prescription and the lady went "oh it's quite expensive" my heart dropped a bit and then she came back with a price of £65!!!
I really wasn't expecting that! I'll be making this same 'mistake' again! Anyone else had similar? My monthly bill is now only 42.50 now! Most people probably spend more on coffee.
To be honest I've found the process much more cheaper than I've seen on here. I think I've paid much less than £1000 to get from 0 to stable dose (excluding the actual meds)
I guess it depends how fast you titrate.
