Fluvoxamine XR can cost up to $440/month without insurance. Here's how to save with coupons, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and other tips.

Fluvoxamine XR Is Expensive — But You Have Options

If you've been hit with the sticker shock of picking up Fluvoxamine XR at the pharmacy, you're not imagining things. The cash price for a 30-day supply of Fluvoxamine extended-release capsules ranges from $170 to $440, depending on the strength and pharmacy. And with the ongoing shortage limiting where you can fill your prescription, you may feel like you're paying more for less convenience.

The good news is that there are several legitimate ways to significantly lower what you pay. From free coupon cards to patient assistance programs, this guide covers every option available in 2026.

How Much Does Fluvoxamine XR Cost Without Insurance?

Here's what you can expect to pay at a typical retail pharmacy without insurance or coupons:

  • Fluvoxamine ER 100 mg (30 capsules): ~$170–$253
  • Fluvoxamine ER 150 mg (30 capsules): ~$250–$440

These prices vary by pharmacy and region. During the shortage, some pharmacies may charge even more due to limited supply. The brand-name version (Luvox CR) is discontinued, so only generic Fluvoxamine ER is available — but "generic" doesn't always mean "cheap" when there are only two manufacturers.

By comparison, Fluvoxamine immediate-release tablets are dramatically cheaper:

  • Fluvoxamine IR 100 mg (30 tablets): $16–$22 with a coupon
  • Fluvoxamine IR 50 mg (60 tablets): $16–$25 with a coupon

Coupons and Discount Cards

Prescription discount cards are free and can save you 50–80% off the retail price. They work even if you have insurance — in some cases, the coupon price is lower than your insurance copay. Here are the most useful options for Fluvoxamine XR:

GoodRx

GoodRx typically offers Fluvoxamine ER for as low as $75 for 30 capsules of the 100 mg strength. Prices vary by pharmacy — it's worth comparing across locations. Free to use at goodrx.com or via their mobile app.

SingleCare

SingleCare shows prices around $107 for 30 capsules of Fluvoxamine ER 150 mg. For the immediate-release tablets, prices start at about $16 for 30 tablets of the 100 mg strength. Available at singlecare.com.

RxSaver

RxSaver compares prices across pharmacies and often shows competitive pricing similar to GoodRx. Check rxsaver.com for current Fluvoxamine ER deals in your area.

Other Discount Cards

Additional coupon options include:

  • Optum Perks (perks.optum.com)
  • BuzzRx (buzzrx.com)
  • ScriptSave WellRx (wellrx.com)
  • America's Pharmacy (americaspharmacy.com)
  • Inside Rx (insiderx.com)

Pro tip: Prices vary significantly between pharmacies — even with the same coupon. Always compare prices at 3-4 pharmacies before filling. Smaller independent pharmacies and warehouse stores like Costco often have the best prices.

Patient Assistance Programs

If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford Fluvoxamine XR, patient assistance programs (PAPs) may be able to help you get your medication for free or at a steep discount.

Important Note: No Manufacturer PAP for Fluvoxamine ER

Since the brand-name Luvox CR has been discontinued and only generic versions exist, there is no manufacturer-sponsored savings card or patient assistance program specifically for this drug. However, several nonprofit organizations can help:

NeedyMeds

NeedyMeds.org is a nonprofit that maintains a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, discount drug cards, and state-level prescription assistance. They also offer a free NeedyMeds Drug Discount Card that works at most pharmacies.

RxAssist

RxAssist.org provides a searchable directory of patient assistance programs from pharmaceutical companies, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. It's particularly useful for finding programs based on your income level and insurance status.

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)

NAMI offers resources specifically for people who need help paying for mental health medications. Visit nami.org or call their helpline for guidance on prescription assistance programs available in your state.

State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (SPAPs)

Many states offer their own prescription assistance programs for residents who meet income requirements. These programs vary by state but can provide significant discounts or free medications. Check with your state's health department or visit NeedyMeds for a state-by-state directory.

Medicare Extra Help

If you're on Medicare Part D and have limited income, the federal Extra Help program can significantly reduce your prescription drug costs. Contact the Medicare Rights Center at 1-800-333-4114 to check eligibility.

Other Ways to Save on Fluvoxamine XR

Consider Switching to Fluvoxamine IR

The single biggest way to save money is to ask your doctor about switching from the extended-release capsules to the immediate-release tablets. The price difference is dramatic:

  • Fluvoxamine ER: $75–$440/month
  • Fluvoxamine IR: $16–$22/month

That's a potential savings of $50 to $400+ per month. The medication is the same active ingredient — you'd just take it twice a day instead of once. Read more about the formulation differences in our alternatives guide.

Ask About 90-Day Supplies

If you can find Fluvoxamine XR in stock, filling a 90-day supply instead of 30 days often reduces the per-capsule cost. Mail-order pharmacies through your insurance plan may offer 90-day fills at a lower copay than three separate 30-day fills.

Try Warehouse Pharmacies

Costco, Sam's Club, and Walmart pharmacies frequently offer lower prescription prices than chain pharmacies. You do not need a Costco or Sam's Club membership to use their pharmacy — it's required by law that their pharmacies serve non-members.

Compare Pharmacy Prices

Prices for the exact same medication can vary by $100 or more between pharmacies in the same city. Use Medfinder to find which pharmacies near you have Fluvoxamine XR in stock, then compare coupon prices across those locations before filling.

Check for Walmart's $4 List

While Fluvoxamine ER is not on Walmart's $4 prescription list, the Fluvoxamine IR tablets may be available at reduced pricing through Walmart and other discount generic programs. Always ask your pharmacist about their store's generic discount program.

Final Thoughts

Fluvoxamine XR doesn't have to break the bank. While the cash price is high — especially during a shortage — coupon cards like GoodRx and SingleCare can cut costs significantly, and switching to the IR formulation can save you hundreds of dollars per month.

If you're uninsured or struggling financially, don't give up. Organizations like NeedyMeds and RxAssist exist specifically to connect patients with affordable medication options. And if cost is a major barrier, talk to your doctor — they may be able to prescribe an equally effective alternative SSRI like Sertraline or Fluoxetine that costs as little as $4 per month.

What is the cheapest way to get Fluvoxamine XR?

The cheapest way to get Fluvoxamine extended-release capsules is by using a coupon card like GoodRx (as low as $75 for 30 capsules) or SingleCare ($107 for 30 capsules of the 150 mg strength). However, if you switch to the immediate-release tablets, the cost drops to just $16–$22 per month with coupons — a savings of $50 to $400+.

Is there a manufacturer coupon for Fluvoxamine XR?

No. The brand-name Luvox CR has been discontinued, and there is no manufacturer savings program or copay card for the generic Fluvoxamine ER capsules. However, free prescription discount cards from GoodRx, SingleCare, and others can reduce costs significantly. Patient assistance programs through NeedyMeds and RxAssist may also help qualifying patients.

How much does Fluvoxamine XR cost with insurance?

With insurance, copays for generic Fluvoxamine ER typically range from $10 to $50 per month, depending on your plan's formulary tier. Most commercial insurance and Medicare Part D plans cover it at Tier 2 or Tier 3. Some plans may require prior authorization or step therapy. In some cases, a coupon card may be cheaper than your insurance copay — it's worth comparing.

Can I use a GoodRx coupon if I have insurance?

Yes. You can choose to use a GoodRx or SingleCare coupon instead of your insurance at any pharmacy. This makes sense when the coupon price is lower than your insurance copay. Just tell your pharmacist you'd like to use the discount card instead of insurance. Note that coupon purchases typically don't count toward your insurance deductible.
