Hi, just curious if you can afford a higher premium that would be great, or join a discount program that can discount your prescription so that you can continue on your same drug that will be a good option, they also have a new website out for Prescription drug with pricing and which pharmacy has the the lowest prices, I don't know if you are familiar with the website or not. GoodRx.com. I hope this have been helpful!

Good morning Lacey,<br>Did GoodRx not work for you? It might have changed, but good news, I actually use http://www.drugnetworkdicountnetwork.com This card was at my Dermatologists office. I have it saved to my phone. I checked this morning and at Walmart it will be $7.14.<br><br>I also saw some conversation about tiers. It seems Zolpidem is tier 4 on most plans. Also saw mentioned that is addictive. It is NOT addictive, but can be dependent. If you stop you would not have withdrawal, but would have trouble sleeping problems for a while. The diazepam, like Ativan and Valium are the ones that are addictive. The doctor treating my other disease is a Pulmonologist and Sleep Disorder doctor. Since I always use it right he has no problem giving it to me.<br><br>I hope this helps. Keep in touch.<br><br>
@laneyk Elaine, Thanks for making the distinction between the words "addictive" and dependency." That is a good point. Seeing a pulmonologist and sleep disorder doctor sounds like a good thing in your situation.
So sorry, while looking to see if you had responded I noticed I put in the wrong link. The correct one is http://www.discountdrugnetwork.com<br><br>Elaine K.<br><br>
Hi Laneyk, thank you so much for the information regarding zolpiderm and it not being addictive. Everyone told me it was, I did get a prescription and Walmart filled it for me, but it cost 37.00, but I will get two months out of them. I break a 10mg. in half and it works. I will look into the other site you sent me and check it out. Thanks for all your input, appreciate it. Lacey
I have the card saved on my phone. The pharmacy will go to insurance unless you tell them otherwise. I have used this card for 2 years now for Zolpidem and for my area it costs $7 and change at Walmart. I have looked at other drugs I take and it would not have saved anything. They were very expensive.Elaine

Hi there, thanks for the input, but it's not about the premium, the insurance co. just won't
give out the script because it is a tier 4 price and too high even though it is a generic. I went
to Good Rx, ( Walgreens )they wanted $ 48.00 for 20 ,10mg. pills, I won't pay that kind of price , I'll lie awake each night until I pass out. Thanks my friend. Lacey
