They aren't fairly cheap to produce. R&D is massively expensive.

Along with all the other expense of bringing it to market and recooping that expense within a limited patent time frame.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Luckily I'm not stuck with homeopathic remedies else I'd be kinda screwed.

It's a shame that you Americans have a health system that seems to value profit over patients/health. Hopefully you guys and girls elect a decent President who will sort that shit out.

Generic Ziprasidone 40mg, 30 capsules, manufactured by Pfizer. Cash price, $402.49 at Safeway. This is not some new drug, it was introduced fifteen years ago.

Good thing I shouldn't hate Pfizer about that.

Right risperidone was just under $325 for 30 when I last got it. Drugs is expensive. Yay for health insurance.

That's nothing compared to the cost of some non-generic drugs I've been prescribed.
