LesleyS2 I also priced it with GoodRx and they were $603.23/month. Also I need to update where I live but I'm now living in Estes Park, CO which is a small mountain community. We only have 1 private pharmacy and Safeway so it's hard to shop around and I don't want to be driving 2 hours to pick up medication.
