A month supply of Luvox was like $100. And that was the generic version of it. Luvox was generic long before Prozac became generic.

Are you sure about Luvox having a generic? I didn't think it was out yet, and I believe it is a newer drug than Prozac which would mean it's patent is still in effect.
You're right though, Luvox is very expensive. I think I paid around $140 per month when I bought that. My Celexa runs around $80 or so.
