It's the first time I've had the courage to add up the cost. Over £7000 per year and that's only the financial cost. My stomach is taking a battering as well xx Drew

    Hi Drew,

    It can be an expensive habit. I was spending $30 a day at one stage, but nothing compares to the price of your health. Do you have time to take off if heaven forbid,you end up in hospital with internal damage? I have read some really bad stories about people on this stuff, some even dying, which was the big wake up call for me. It happens, don't let it happen to you...

      Thank you Didi. I know. It is a big worry because a long period of sick leave could cripple me financially. xx Drew

    Yep, I have to admit that one of the factors leading me off the horrid N+ was the dent in my finances. I found N+ at the top of my list each week, ahead of absolute necessities like food, petrol, parking etc...  Main factor was health concerns and pharmacy monitoring purchases.  Tapering is probably not as cost effective as CT but I couldn't do all at once. Each to their own
