180 Days Almost Up For Teva's Generic Adderall Xr?? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I am currently without insurance and I had to pay $275 (cheapest I could find) for my GENERIC Adderall XR 20mg/60 count. I have read that Teva was the only one to produce the generic version for 180 days from the launch date, which was 4/2/09. My math indicates their 180 days will be up in two days (9/30/09) but I can't find out if any other companies are going to be producing the generic which should drive the price down significantly.

Does anyone have any information about anyone else producing the generic Adderall XR 20 mg other than Teva/Barr? The generic name is Dextroamphetamine+amphetamine mixed salts, extended release. I cannot keep paying almost $300/mo for medication.

I take it for narcolepsy and cannot function without it. So I am stuck between a rock and a hard place here. By the way, I have noticed NO difference between the generic and the name brand, except for the fact that I think the generic works better. :) Thanks!!

I was recently dx with adult ADHD and have no insurance. I have been paying out of pocket for Adderall XR and recently switched to IR out of financial necessity. My doc and I are tweaking the dose but it seems like this will work. I am interested in reliable coupons/discounts for Adderall IR. Thank you.

was recently prescribed Adderall XR and the price is pretty painful. best i've found for generic is $147 for 30 15mg. That's through Walgreens with a Blue Cross discount.

Any recommendations you have to reduce that price would be very welcome.

I have been taking meds for adhd since I was in second grade, I'm 26 now. I currently take 3 20mg aderall pills a day, I'm supposed to take 4, but medicaid won't pay for more than 3. I do NOT want to switch to a generic form, they don't even make one for the 20mg pills yet (and yesi do know this for sure cause my doctor always signs the ok for generic part of the script, and I'm still getting name brand. I filled my prescription 4 days ago) the last time I was switched to a generic I had a suicide attempt, which a psychiatrist directly attributed to the generic drug (I was on ridelin at the time). Because of my mental state when I'm un medicated I can't survive without my meds, but if I get a job I will lose my insurance and the last time I checked the cost for 120 20mg pills was a little over $600.

If anyone has any knowledge of a discount card I could use to reduce the cost for adderall xr I would love to know. I want to get a job, but I will get fired if I lose the ability to get my meds.

Please avoid Teva\Barr brands of Adderall. Due to legal issues Teva is not allowed to duplicate Shire's product, only to mimic.

I suggest that you have your doctor state that all Adderall tablets prescribed be of Eon\Sandoz generic brand. The company continues to produce clean Adderall, equal to Shire. They (Sandoz) continue with Quality Assurance.

1st, your not getting 60 20mg XR's you are getting IRs instant release or immediate release. No one will give you a 1 month supply of 60 XRs. Shire is the only one that makes XRs untill about 2 months ago then kike ball TEVA came out with there generic XR oh and btw i was paying 75 for a 20mg adderall XR supply with insurance. same with vyvanse. anyways, BARR only makes IRs. so your mistaken with the whole XR thing. now with insurance i pay 15 dollars for 90 20mg generic adderall IRs and cor pharma makes that one. now i personally am much much happier with my instant release adderall. they hit me faster stronger and are just way better. the only differance between IR and XR in this case is they have added a racemic acid to the recipe. and that to me dont work as good vyvanse sucked a big nut. anywways no one yet or will be for quite a while will have a generic for this other than teva and just now i read the last part of your comment and see your saying the same thing as me so haha sick. well i wish you luck my friend the only thing i would go look for other than adderall is maybe vyvanse its simmilar but there is another and its been my goal for a while to get its called Desoxyn. LOOK IT UP! and go easy on them CNS stimulants, you will go crazy if you keep taking them amphetamine psychosis look it up.
