Seeking Empathy My medication went from $31 to $130.
I'm really frustrated right now and I would like to know if anybody has experienced sonthing similar. So I'm on Methylphenidate and I would pick it up from my local walmart for $31 dollars. Starting this month, it randomly shot up to $130. I called my insurance, they said it was somthing up with walmart. Talked to my walmart pharmacist and she said that nothing has changed with walmart in terms of a manufacturing change and no changes to my prescription has been made.
I had to bite the bullet and pay to get the medication (I'm afraid of abruptly stopping it). I plan in calling my insurance again but this is just very upsetting.

I don't even do through insurance for mine. It's cheaper.to go to.costco and just do the Costco price.
Also a lot of the generic drugs on the market are imported. They are all going up in price by a ton.soom.
