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.

In Australia adhd meds cost 10-30 aud a month without insurance.

American healthcare sucks

Italian here, methylphenidate is 2€/month for everyone. Except very poor people and those whom have other kind of exception to payment, they pay nothing.

So at most is 24€/year.
