chantix cost with insurance

I smoked since I was 13 and quit when I was 34.I had tried stopping a few times before,and of course quit while pregnant.First off,you have to WANT to quit for YOU-not anyone else.I personally am a fan of Chantix.It's a pill from your doctor,taken for min. of 3 mos. (I did 5 to be on "safe side").It is specifically designed to block the nicotine receptors in your brain-the triggers that make you want to smoke.

that was me 4 months and 1 week ago! I was hooked and no one could reason with me and I didn't want to quit, or so I thought. I was absolutely to weak to do it and then I heard about Chantix. (read my post titled "everyone") My quit happened because I doubted that there was anything on the market that could help me and here was something that said they were 44% successful. I thought for sure that I was in that 56% that couldn't and so I took them.

I too have been a long-term smoker...I have tried several times and have been unable to quit....I started smoking at 12 and am now 30...I smoke more now then ever before, and I am starting to feel the effects....I tried patches, herbals and cold turkey.... The best thing I tried was Chantix...it's a prescription that you get from your doctor....It works by blocking nicotine from the nicotine receptors in the brain....you continue to smoke the first week while taking the medicine....

I'm going to say thyroid issues are the least of your worries with Chantix, the first two friends I know that tried it developed hallucinations while on it. None of my other friends will touch the stuff after seeing that.

Read the post by Joanna564 dated 3/11 titled "Is itching a symptom of nicotine withdrawl." It's hard to say what is or isn't normal but I'm quite sure that it does have to do with with your cutting back or the Chantix even though it isn't listed as a side effect. I had itching also but mainly my nose and scalp. I had finished taking Chantix by then so I didn't think to blame it on that. You said that you were having headaches a few days ago. Have those subsided?

Last year I got diagnosed with MS in the states , now I was supposed to get my treatment back home , however im having problems with my insurance here.. When I was there I heard that if I did some kind of couse in the country for at least 6 months I could get the treatment. I ll apreciate if anyone knows anything about this subject in Maryland or DC ..

The difference between the full cost of a treatment (which the uninsured often are charged), and the amount the insurance company tells them they will pay is often quite a bit. If you have cash and offer to pay up front (for a discount) you may get charged less than what they can get out of the insurance company, because it's less hassle and instant money for them. Just a thought, even if you had to borrow the money. Will your Endo accept results from another facility?

i was just wondering if any one here uses chantix and is it helping you?....

I was taking Depakote, Lithium, and Propranolol. I have been off my meds for almost 3 months because I lost my insurance. I want to stop smoking. Since I am struggling with my moods due to lack of meds, I am very concerned about how the nicotine withdrawals if I were to quit cold turkey. Any suggestions? From my research I have found that Chantix is definitely not an option for me.

I quit smoking on November 13. I was just down in Disney World and my man handed me a diamond ring!! Beautiful...we've been together 8 years. I never thought I'd get a ring! Anyway...we had a shot and a drink to celebrate our engagement...one led to more ... and I broke...I had two cigarettes! :( I have since had some alcohol on Christmas night and did NOT smoke...I didn't even want to smoke.

I had been smoking cigarettes for over 20 years at a pack to a pack and half a day. I was successful with Chantix and quit, however when I found myself in a stressful situation I rebounded to smoking cigarettes. Nine years ago I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection that would not go away. I made a conscious decision to quit with Chantix again. My 2nd attempt was not as easy.

Below is some info I have posted on here in the past about how to manage without insurance (free strips and free insulin). I'm a Type 1 without insurance too. Since diabetes is a pre-existing condition, insurance is very expensive. If anyone on here knows of any good prices on insurance for diabetics, please share--it would be greatly appreciated! Some great resources for locating free and low cost clinics are the two links I have listed below.

In what country are you? In the USA, it is anywhere from $18,000 to $30,000.

this should be the last month I have that high copay but you take that with the cost of the supplemental 200 and the SSI 110 and you are shelling out a 1000 a mo for medical which I know compared to some is nothing but I am trying to figure out what to do in future so I'm not living in my car taking pills....LOL. My Xifanan is the most expensive right now but to get any help with it will affect my supplemental.

My insurance covered it with just my copay at our doctors office. I would call your insurance to see if they cover it or even partly cover it.

That's with insurance^^ it's about $10-20,000 for vaginal dependin on complications needs...

When you say "the pill" to quit smoking, do you mean Chantix? I used it to quit 5 yrs ago and had no trouble with it, at all; however, my husband started on it, then read the possible side effects, got scared and quit taking it. I have not had a cigarette for 5 yrs, he still smokes. Keep in mind the side effects are not inevitable; some people get them, some don't. The drawback to Chantix is that it's expensive and is not covered by insurance......

umm in the usa without insurance, n im chronic.

Looking at the EOB from insurance they repeatedly charged me for something that cost $89.72. The only thing I got more several times was Pepsi, and I know an 8 oz. can doesn't cost that much ;) I can't believe the stupid insurance company paid this right away, but haven't paid other, more legitimate things without a fight!

Beyond annoyed. With my first pregnancy I had blue cross and it only cost $200 a month for my husband and I. And it was absolutely amazing. Now with this one we have aetna and since all the crazy healthcare act junk it cost us over $500 a month. And they don't even cover my 20 week anatomy scan. It goes towards my deductible which is extremely frustrating. Pretty angry I pay so much every month to make other people's lives easier essentially only to haveto stress about money myself.

Yes you do, here in the UK we have the nhs so we don't have to pay, but other countries like US don't have nhs they have health insurance instead so, like with our car insurance, if u don't have insurance or ur insurance doesn't cover it then u have to pay

You are getting a great deal. On SOC with my insurance, I paid $100. for the peg/interferon and $40.
