No...my insurance covered it, except for a $12 copay. You could look up an approximate price on one of those online pharmacies, though.

> If I phoned a pharmacist would he tell me the price?

Well, I assume so.

> How much were you taking a day? What brand?

There's only one brand available in the U.S., Buprenex. I was taking 1.5cc/day (0.45mg), as I recall.

> _http://www.feral.org/vitality/plist_active.htm _ lists it at:
> Buprenorphine (Temgesic) 0.2mg x 50 tabs $43.00

Temgesic isn't available in the U.S. You'd have to order it.

Good luck...hope it works for you, if you decide to try it.
