If the cost didn't go up, it can't have been a supply shortage. Even at its US peak, there wasn't much of a "fentanyl epidemic" in Mexico either.
The overprescription of opioids in the US (especially in the past) is hardly a secret.
“Even as quality worsens, prices in drug markets are sticky, so the decreasing potency probably meant people were taking less fentanyl.”
