Further, as noted in TFA, it’s possible to get higher doses at the same or almost the same price, though a compounding pharmacy, because pricing is basically the same no matter the dose (the materials are dirt cheap, the drug is very cheap to make, so they sell “the drug’s effect at however much you need” not “this amount of the drug”, basically) and then stretch it by taking smaller amounts than prescribed, or split a prescription with someone else.
