Well, I'm from Canada so I don't know how much more expensive it is up here for us than it would be for you. The xenical worked out to I believe $2/pill and I was taking 3 a day. It
was expensive, but I had I seem results I would've stuck with it. It just wasn't working for me. I remember cringing every time I went to buy a refill (I only got one month supplies at a time because I was nervous about the side effects and wanted to start slow).
And no, nothing was covered by my health plan. (I'm still on my parents plan and it covers practically everything...except this. Haha. Naturally.) That being said, my BMI was below 30 when I started taking it so I'm curious as to whether if your BMI was above 30 you would receive some coverage...
If you have any more questions let me know! I was on it for three months so I got a pretty good handle on how things worked
