I wonder if the Adderall shortage had anything to do with it. It's not uncommon for prices or copays to change with new plans, new year etc. It could be something negotiated by your employer for the plan for the upcoming year, if your insurance is employer based.

So I didn’t put it in there, but I actually work in insurance! My plan is through my employer, and nothing on the plan itself had changed. They didn’t change the tier of the medication or anything. Basically the only thing that changed was the pharmacy benefit manager went from ExpressScripts to CVS Caremark, they also told me their “formulary changed” but they could not (or would not) give me any more information than that. The shortage would make sense, but it’s not the regular one that increased it was the XR, so I’m like totally lost lol.
