I just read the "to medicate or not to medicate" thread, and I want to ask all of you who have been on/ put your children on mediation how you can afford to pay for it.
Concerta, which is supposed to be one of the best, costs $10 per day after health insurance.

What health insurance do you have? That seems overly expensive.

Daytrana $ 190 a month. Not covered by insurance. No other option, the only thing that works.

Generic amphetamine salts (the inexpensive version of adderall) costs $10 per month with our insurance, and $170 without.

In Israel the kupot subsidize Ritalin (not Concerta, AFAIK). The Ritalin (reg. 10mg tablets) is 14NIS/package of 30 (1 month). You can't purchase more than one month's supply at a time as it's a highly regulated drug.

For us, if we don't find the money for the concerta, DH will not be able to hold down a job and then we'll have no money for anything else. That concerta is just part of our budget, no less than food or rent.
