Entirely different topic^, I just feel like ranting every time drug companies come up.

It is way overpriced. I only use generics.

I also have kind medical professionals who give me enough samples to last for a while. They know those prescriptions are overpriced even with health insurance.

I have no current alternative to the $70 medication, and I do need it. It's just frustrating to see the two others combined cost less than half of what that one does. (And this is all with good insurance as I'm on my parents' plan). The only times I get samples are when my doctor has them, and it's never a month's worth. I want to rant every time I go to the pharmacy.
