The Entacapone in my Stalevo has gone up. A 3 months supply was $28 now it's $300.

Have you investigated either of the 2 generic alternatives to Stalevo? They are Sastravi and Stanek here in the UK. I changed from Stalevo to save the NHS money. Although I get them free, Stalevo cost the NHS about double that of Sastravi.

I guess my insurance company raised CR to higher tier

Left regular release at Tier 1

So did Blue Cross of Michigan, it’s ridiculous and should be illegal! It’s not a new drug and generic available. Maybe everyone should get congress involved. Anything that cost more money, they just move to higher Tier for higher copay?!?!
