Whoa.
So I had my follow up with my neurologist. I mentioned the few 'migraines' I'd had in between appointments and that I generally had a dull headache. She's upped my dosage of Topamax (to an almost GOOD GRIEF! amount, mind you) that I will 'step up' to over the next few weeks. I am hoping the drooling idiot side effect does not return. Still hoping for the loss of appetite to lose a few unwanted pounds, but whatever.
She also gave me a prescription for the Maxalt, which is the onset migraine pills. Fifteen pills in my prescription.
Both prescriptions cost, with insurance, $70. Without insurance, they would have run about $900. Yes, Nine hundred dollars. $500+ for 120 pills of Topamax (@ 4$ a pill), and $380+ for fifteen pills of Maxalt (@ 25$ a pill!). There must be diamonds ground up in that.
I sure am glad for Blue Cross.
