Increased Cost Of Fioricet? (Page 2)

Updated

Has anyone else noticed a drastically increased cost of generic Fioricet in the last month or so? My last rx on 4/1 was 88.00 and my new rx today was 246.00!!!! Anyone know what's going on?

Greetings, my doctor of over 12 yrs has now concluded that opioids and especially fioricet are bad and is cutting anyone on them down to nothing. I live in cincy area, would you mind sharing your pain doc I can get by with 30 a month. No abuse or rebound.

Thanks

First get an Rx Savings Card as it will cut your cost in half. They keep adding drugs to lists of Abused drugs. I have had awful debilitating migraines since the age of 12. I have been put on dangerous drugs that have damaged my body because the drs don't want to prescribe the drug that keeps me functional. Fioricet. Medicare stopped paying. I'm on a fixed income. Now I'm on topamax which is killing me but medicare pays for that go figure.

I have tried using the RX SAVINGS card before, and funny thing is, they do not work if you have medicare! It makes no sense to me, that because I am actually on disability- cannot work- I am penalized by not allowing me to use any savings cards. And WTH the price of this very old generic drug has skyrocketed in this last year. I don't know what to do either. I have used fioricet since I was 22 years old. I am 62 and need help.

I was given amitriptyline with my generic fiorcet. The "anti depressent" helps the fiorcet work better. It has been explained several times. 20-30 MG amitriptyline. I, too need this for my almost daily headaches. The cost now is way over what it should be.Mimi

It seems since they lowered the Tylenol from 325mg to 300mg, the price has gone way up which is just plain wrong. Some places still have it with the 325mg. I would contact your doctor & request to have the script changed to the 325mg dosage of Tylenol.
