I have been on ralivia since 2008 & now I have no RX coverage & am paying full price for my baclofen.
Paying full price for 3 months of ralivia can cost up to 200$
Should I switch to T3's which is cheaper.

good luck

All I can say is that cost of medications has forced me to swich medications. I'm not familiar with your meds. You can always switch back.

Dr's appt was good, spoke to her bout switching to tylenol acetametphine with codiene for the opiates I take now.
She did not seem keen to take me off tramadol hydrochloride, but gave me all the samples she had of the short acting as I was taking long acting prior.Now to adjust to that every 6-8hrs with my baclofen.
