Are You familiar with Levorphanol ? I've been taking Morphine ER 100mg for over a year. That's not doing the job anymore so the Pain Clinic switched Me to the Levorphanol 2mg Tabs, 1 every 6 hours. Heck, those don't do squat ! I may as well be taking Baby Asprin!!!

And then there is the Cost:

No Insurance from $2431.43 - $5642.04 for 120 count.

With Insurance it's a $3.00 Copay.

This stuff has been around since the Late '30s - Early '40s in Germany. So SHOW ME WHY THIS PRICING IS THIS WAY...???
