About that - for me, it was $3000 for the 2 weeks, but the insurance covered all but something like $90

There is one other downside - look at the tiramine issue - and at least 6 months ago, the dietary restrictions were MASSIVE - no cured meets, no preserved foods, no fermented foods (aka sauerkraut, soy, soursauce, etc ), no aged cheeses, no chocolate, and most important NO pseudepidrene (sp) the list goes on - they have since decided that most of the restricions are not needed. This is because Zyvox is actually an MAOI - but a milder form than the ones used for psycological reasons. If you do get a tiramine/maoi reaction, your bloodpressue can spike like you would not believe
