"i&#039;ve been on ocella going on almost a year then boom - it&#039;s no longer generic. $35 bucks a month! or $90 if you buy 3 months (and that&#039;s with insurance), all in a matter of three months from when i last refilled my prescription. very upsetting. only one manufacturer for it so it is now a brand.  i&#039;m not sure if this all works under your insurance and what they cover but that was the reason i was given for the increase. now i&#039;m nervous about switching to something else because that&#039;s just outrageous to pay, especially in this economy. $15 bucks for 3 months worth was nice, hopefully having to switch doesn&#039;t cost me elsewhere. other than that i think this is a great birth control and would continue to use it if i could afford it."
