Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

@artscaping I presume you are on Medicare D, is that correct? I know that what is paid can vary depending on the carrier, but if you don't mind, how much did you have to pay initially for Tymlos? I am familiar with how the cost of drugs can vary throughout the year from when I was in xifaxan. Initially we were paying about $700 a month, then we hit the donut hole, and then the cost went way down.
That's great that you are not having any side-effects from Tymlos. We are all different of course though and that does not mean that someone else will not have effects.

@contentandwell, Yes I have the drug part or Medicare D which is then farmed out to another carrier. Since the Tymlos hasn' been a whole year....I can't fill in all the gaps.
Initially, I paid about $550 a month in the summer. Then it went down in the coverage gap. Then it went down further in the last two months. I picked up 3 prescriptions ...2 very pricey ones and gabapentin last Friday. The total was $90 so I am pretty sure that the Tymlos was about $50.
My advisor said I need to stay with the same carrier and that financially it will be about the same as last year. Is there something you want to know specifically? I am not good at this stuff at all. I can barely understand all the ins and outs of the plans. That is why I have an insurance advisor who keeps me "covered" pretty well. Have a restful sleep. Chris
