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.

What kind of pharmacy do you go to? It might be helpful for others if you can share.

Do you have more than one in your area? I was able to use it at both of the CVSs near my house. The last time I had to use it was about 9 months to a year ago though, because my on-insurance price dropped.
