– ‘Ritalinflation’ Strikes Households Amid Ongoing ADHD Drug Shortage:
The national shortage of Adderall and other ADHD medications has led to a steep rise in prices, a trend we’re calling ‘Ritalinflation.’ The demand for ADHD drugs soared during Covid due to increased telehealth use. This high demand, coupled with low supply, is causing an affordability crisis for some who rely heavily on the medication to focus.
USA Today spoke with one family who said their monthly ADHD medication went from under $20 to $300. The surge in costs has forced the husband in the family to stop taking the medication while prioritizing their daughter, who is in school.
“With medication and accommodations at school, my daughter is a straight-A student. Without the medication, she’s failing,” the mother said, who wished not to be named because her husband’s employer does not know about his diagnosis.
