lyrica cost australia

m not sure what other tests the U.S. has that Australia does not, ask the docs, and then you can research cost and so forth. As for fibromyalgia, if you do have that, again the Lyrica will help you feel better for it. But I think I'd revisit the allergy idea, and then settle on peripheral neuropathy, which toxin allergy can cause it. I don't know why your neurologist hasn't focused on that, but you could get a second opinion if he thinks you don't have it.

If you have no drug coverage Lyrica will cost you about $350.00/mn. That for 3 tabs of 100mg/day ouch! Our FDA (food and drug association) is why. I have gotten my meds through Canada and they are so much cheaper. With the laws in place now here in the good ol' US of A it is being considered a narcotic. So you can't get Lyrica through the mail just like pain meds. The meds I got through Canada funny (well not real funny) most came from England or India.

If given a choice without cost factors pros and cons of Gabapentin versus Lyrica for long standing neuopathy pain in my back, legs and feet from surgery over 10 years ago...Any advise appreciated..

Hi there, I'm Sandy from Australia. In a Nutshell I have Fibromyalgia and Heamachromatosis AND I have just lost 56 kilos after Sleeve Gastrectomy. My Rheamatolidgist put me on Lyrica and I can tell you I don't know how I am even sitting here typing this. I feel so slow and off the planet. :/ My question is, WHY does the Lyrica make you put on weight. Is it just your appetite increases?

The founder of the company that discovered the Sovaldi hepatitis C drug, which has been listed with a cost of $1,000 for a single pill, says that it’s fairly cheap to make the basic ingredients for this well-regarded new medicine. It may cost only about $1,400 to manufacture a 12-week supply, or 84 pills, of the key ingredient in Sovaldi, excluding the costs of manufacturing plants, solvents, formulation, encapsulating and marketing.

Hello! My Dr prescribed me Lyrica and I have been readin about this drug, but I can't seem to find anything telling me what is in it. Does anyone know the ingredients? I was told it was a non-narcotic drug but then the leaflet says that it can be addictive and do not stop immediately..blah,blah, blah...does anyone know what is in this stuff?

The doctor kept increasing my dose to a high level of 150mgs 2 - 3 times a day. The cost was outrageous as over here in Australia, it cost me from $80 - $100 per box, and it was only lasting me less than 2 weeks. It was not helping my pain AT ALL....and the side effects were bad, making me dizzy, nauseated, restless, dry mouth, nightmares, etc. The doctor said most of the symptoms go away after awhile, but they didnt go away for me.

I started Lyrica in Nov. O7'. I felt horrible for a long time. I went slowly. One pill a week, until I reached 150mg. I hurt all that time. After I had that 150mg ( not much) I started feeling better. It took so long.....more than a month. Finally, I did feel better. I did have breakthrough pain, nothing like I had before, but stabbing here and there. I still do! My Rhemy asked me to up my dose. I refused, as I had sides that put me asleep so often...

Hi Melanie My egg collection cost $12300, plus 1300 per transfer. I live in Australia, and fly to Thailand which cost me from $1000 to $1200 return, accom about $400. You really inspire me Melanie :)))) I have three frosties left, and no luck so far, but going back to Thailand soon. Im 45 and no children YET :)) My question is do you have any tips, any special diet, any advise ?

Hi Pat. just to let you know, I was prescribed Lyrica too, I know it is expensive but I have coverage, so it only cost me 20.00 but I found it never worked for me, and I have nerve pain ( nerve damage ), so the doctor gave me Gabapentin ( neurontin ) instead, to try,and I find it works much better than Lyrica and the cost is minimal, it cost me 4.00 for LOTS of them , sorry can't remember how many but it was a huge bottle.

Toolmaker, I understand about the cost. I picked up a one month supply and it cost me 206 dollars. Ouch! I am hoping that it works with the pain, but praying that I do not gain any weight. I have always been thin and honestly I'm a little scared to put on any extra pounds. Thanks for your input, and I hope you are are doing well!

how much this may cost I would know whether or not I should travel back to Australia where I can have it done for free there. I have a complex nodule on my Thyroid gland measuring up to 2.6cm. Any input into the cost of these procedures would be greatly appreciated.

t know where in the world you live and will presume you are in USA. Here in Australia it cost me around $300 per treatment. I had two treatments done about 6 weeks apart You can't have it done sooner, it takes that long for the veins to collapse. The stockings are extremely expensive too, over $125 a pair. I don't know how much they would be in USA. I can't recommend anyone unless you live in Melbourne, Australia! Cheers!

It sounds like something that works but, it didnt have any information about cost or benefits, just told about the procedure. So, any info. out there?

I am interested in how much these pumps cost (including all the accesories one needs). We are in Australia so if anyone also knew the name of a distributor or distributors for these devices, it would be good. I appreciate any comments or news on the above. Thanks. Peter.

Lyrica is an amazing drug. I tried every/any number of neuro drugs, none worked, or worked long enough. Lyrica does. I have a neuropathy damage in my R foot from a construction accident. Also in my R hand from a "complex fracture" (a cracker) of my radius. Later the plate actually became an issue, and I had it removed. That caused a whole new pile of hand pain... Lyrica keeps them 99.1% under control... yea even w/ insurance it's dam expensive, but wow does it work.

I went to my PMP the 1st ofJanuary, 2012, to get my MSContin and Oxycodone scripts. He gave me a random UA test for MSContin, Oxycodone (for breakthrough pain), and Lyrica. This is the first drug test from him in 2-3 years. I had been taking less of my MSContin and Lyrica because of being in the"donut-hole" of Med.D script plan and , also trying to resolve co-pay of MSContin-generic back down to tier exception lower cost co-pay.

Well my insurance has decided that they won't pay for my Lyrica any longer. They have been paying for it for over 2 years now. The want me to take gabapentin, which I can't take because of side affects. My doctor is going to call and talk to the insurance company and hopefully he can get it covered, if not I don't know what I will do. Lyrica is the one med that keeps my pain at bay for the most part. :( Sorry had to vent.

We had it done. Im in the u.s. and it took 2 weeks to get back. My insurance covered it.

You can now get it done in Australia but you will need to pay for it - cost about $2k and not covered by medicare or private healthfund (if in Australia). the blood sample will be taken in Australia but will be shipped to Sequenom in San Diengo for testing as we do not have lab facility here yet. Good luck and hope this post is useful.

I have been stable on my meds., however my medical aid refused to cover the cost for the Lyrica, giving as a reason that they don't cover medication for Fibro-myalgia. I am now taking Epleptin 300mg, 1 2x daily. I feel weird. light-headed, dizzy, fatigued. Do you think I am having side effects from the Epleptin? Regards.

Do any of yo take Lyrica for pain ? And how much do you take? Is it working at all for you?
