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 was going to Walgreens for a long time, and paying a shitload for my meds.

One time the pharmacist randomly said, you know we don't take your insurance right? Uh....no.

So I went to CVS, and they were like $15 each. I always figured CVS and Walgreens were basically the same place.

My partner had the exact opposite problem with his insurance.

Def not. CVS is weird about its contracts with distributors. So they’re always on backorder and shit out of pocket is way more expensive. They are terribly greedy.

I agree!
