Vilazodone too expensive? Learn how to save with coupons, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and other strategies. Prices as low as $28 per month.
If you've been prescribed Vilazodone (brand name Viibryd) for depression, the price tag may have caught you off guard. Without insurance or a discount, Vilazodone can cost anywhere from $175 to over $400 per month depending on whether you're filling generic or brand-name.
The good news is that you don't have to pay full price. There are several ways to bring the cost of Vilazodone down significantly — in some cases to under $30 per month. Here's everything you need to know.
Let's start with the baseline so you know what you're working with:
These prices vary by pharmacy, location, and whether you're filling the generic or brand version. The price difference between pharmacies can be dramatic — sometimes hundreds of dollars for the same medication.
Prescription discount coupons are the quickest way to reduce your out-of-pocket cost for Vilazodone. These are free to use and work whether or not you have insurance.
GoodRx offers coupons for generic Vilazodone starting at approximately $32 for 30 tablets of the 40 mg strength. Prices vary by pharmacy, so check multiple locations on the GoodRx app or website. GoodRx Gold members may access even lower prices.
SingleCare coupons can bring the price of generic Vilazodone down to approximately $34-$35 for 30 tablets. SingleCare also offers coupons for brand Viibryd, though the savings on the generic version are typically more significant.
Additional coupon services that may offer competitive pricing for Vilazodone include:
Pro tip: Always compare prices across multiple coupon services before filling. The best price can differ by pharmacy and by coupon provider. What's cheapest at Walgreens with GoodRx might not be the cheapest at CVS.
AbbVie offers a Viibryd Savings Card for commercially insured patients. With this card, eligible patients may pay as little as $0 per fill for brand-name Viibryd.
How to get it:
Eligibility requirements:
If you have commercial insurance and your doctor specifically prescribes brand Viibryd, this savings card can make the brand version less expensive than the generic in some cases.
If you're uninsured, underinsured, or can't afford your medication even with coupons, patient assistance programs may provide Vilazodone at no cost.
AbbVie's patient assistance program provides brand Viibryd at no cost to qualifying patients. Eligibility is based on income and insurance status.
If you're currently paying for brand Viibryd and don't qualify for the manufacturer savings card, ask your doctor about switching to generic Vilazodone. Generic versions contain the same active ingredient and are considered therapeutically equivalent by the FDA. The cost difference can be significant — $350+ for brand vs. $28-$35 for generic with a coupon.
Many pharmacies and insurance plans offer better per-unit pricing when you fill a 90-day supply instead of a 30-day supply. This can save you 10-20% per month and reduces the number of pharmacy trips. Mail-order pharmacies often offer the best 90-day pricing.
Vilazodone pricing varies dramatically between pharmacies. A medication that costs $175 at one pharmacy might cost $60 at another with the same coupon. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies that have Vilazodone in stock, and compare coupon prices across multiple locations.
In some cases, your doctor may prescribe a higher-strength tablet that you can split to get two doses. For example, if you take 20 mg daily, splitting a 40 mg tablet gives you two doses for the price of one. Only do this with your doctor's explicit approval — not all medications are safe to split, and you need to confirm that the tablet formulation allows it.
If your insurance requires step therapy or prior authorization for Vilazodone, your doctor can submit an appeal or prior authorization request explaining why Vilazodone is medically necessary for you. If you've tried and failed other antidepressants, this documentation strengthens the appeal. Successful appeals can reduce your copay from brand-tier pricing to preferred-tier pricing.
Vilazodone doesn't have to break the bank. With generic options, discount coupons, manufacturer savings programs, and patient assistance, most patients can find a way to afford this medication. Here's a quick summary of your savings options:
