AVINZA Time released Morphine Any lower cost substitutes
I am on 120mg of Avinza and 10mg x2 cyclobenzaprine now and the cost of the Avinza is $379 for 30 1 per day.Do any of you know of a medicine that would be less costly and a little bit stronger than the Avinza 120mg for moderate to severe lower back pain?Thanks,Born

RE: AVINZA Time released Morphine Any lower cost substitutes
I know the methadone the doctor first put me on worked wonderful for my pain but I got a rash from it. I have no idea of that cost. If you call the pharmacist and ask I am sure they would tell you. I thought it was very good for pain and my level of pain is about a 7 everyday. With the methadone I would say it went all the way down to a 3. It was good and wish I could still use it.
