My son takes Adderal regular release 20 one time daily.

(should be twice daily for regular release but the NP is an idiot, changing to different provider ASAP-another story another time)

But anyway my point is that typically a month's supply of 30 tablets costs me $30 cash (no insurance for son). Today when I went to the pharmacy for refill the pharmacist said he would have to check to see if they had it in stock because the suppliers had "short supplies" and were going to delay shipments and cost was going to increase dramatically. Today it cost over $50 for thirty pills and he said he expected the cost to be over $100 by January.

The pharmacist said that this is Big Pharma's response to Obamacare. His words, not mine, don't chew me up about political views 'cause I'm not even going to get into my personal opinions of what's going on in Washington. He said he believes that there is no shortage, that it is just a game the providers are playing.

I said I wonder what will happen to my medicare part D and the pharmacist said you are on the chopping block next. Crap, I am already in the donut hole and could not afford to pick up all my prescriptions and have not been compliant with my medicine regime because I can't afford to buy them.

This really sucks as I have been feeling depressed for a few days and thought perhaps it is because I couldn't afford $120 for my selegiline a couple weeks ago and didn't fill it so today I asked them to fill half the selegiline so I could take half the dose I should be taking and see if that helps my mood.

Are other people seeing "shortages" in meds and big increases in cost lately?

I am really scared what the future holds and how it will impact my son's and my mental health if we cannot afford our meds.
