ump in price of pain meds

went to get my compounded oxy at the beginning of the month and i noticed that the price went up 35dollars for 120 of them. i asked the pharmacy and they said they had nothing to do with the jump in price. they said i should talk to my insurance co about this. i have heard of price increase but 35 dollars at once for compounded oxy seems a bit too much. anyone else have problems with increase in pain meds? i just took a decrease in strength of my fenatyl lollipops to make up for the cost and now an increase in my oxy. what gives?

I take 120 mg of Cymbalta, and only get 60 mg at the formulary rate so it costs $50/month instead of $20.
This is most likely just a drop in the bucket of tricks from what I see coming... Tis' a sad state of affairs and it's going to get a whole lot sadder...
Sometimes I just absolutely HATE my job! BUT, what choice do you have after 31 1/2 years and only 5 1/2 left to go... It is disgusting...
Like was said, prices "they be going up!" I just got my "2011 BCBS" benefits booklet. Prescription prices on average seem to have gone up between $5 and $15 for non generic meds. Some stuff went down, but procedures, in/out patient, surgeries etc., have all gone up. Sniff... Oh, and my premiums are going up around $48 a month in 2011.
