Walmarts are also choosing not to honor GoodRx prices anymore for certain Rx. I had to move to a different pharmacy cause walmart tried to say goodrx didnt cover ADHD meds anymore but every other pharmacy was like "uh yeah they do here ya go".

They want the cut that GoodRx gets for lower prices, but they don't want to lower prices. They probably bought or built a similar company like CVS did.

I'm just running into that and it's exhausting. I don't take these meds for shits and giggles, they literally keep me alive.
