Adderall Backorder (Page 13)

I take generic Adderall 20 mg for narcolepsy and there is not one local pharmacy that has it in stock. I have never had this problem before. The pharmacies are saying that it's on backorder from the manufacturer. Is anyone else having problems getting their scripts filled?

I am also having a problem finding it. Whats Ironic about the whole situation is when we are all on this drug to focus we seem to still focus on getting it, without having it in us to help us focus.

Haha! Makes total sense to me :) most people don't have a problem focusing on things we like. It helps us focus on the stuff that we would prefer not to focus on. Like school and work :/

Hello,
Yes, I was able to... I stopped at a place that normally NEVER has it due to there demand, but just happened to get it in that day and I pulled to the drive up window , expecting the normal "no, everyone is trying to find" but was shocked to hear , sure thing! It will be 10 min!! I almost crashed my car I was so caught off guard. After driving to 20 pharmacies all over Cape Coral and Florida I was happy. Such nonsense that a legally prescribed drug is so hard to find and you can't call you have to go in. It's not like it is pain meds. No one ever robbed a pharmacy for adderall (from what I know lol) but I understand the control for class meds and the laws. Just a pain to fill sometimes. I though it was over back 13-14 months ago when the last drought happened. Thanks for all the advise :-)

Oh, yes.. I did see your post... I asked the pharmacy if I were to get a different strength would it look like I might have a chance to fill. I know that can't say but just wanted to see if it looked possible, as it's a pain to get my dr to change the script and then find out they don't have it. I did that 3 times last time this happened. Oh. I live in community just off of 6-mile cypress ,south of colonial blvd :-) and you?

Hello,
Yeah, I know, it's a shame that people robbing pharmacies and taking advantage any way they can... And yes, I am a member of Costco. They were out. The last time they had in stock they had a different brand , I forget the brand. I am us to corepharma and Teva/Barr. And I can tell a difference between the two. Both say 20mg but the strength is diff on both. Strange. I found that 10 mg of Corepharma and 10 mg of Barr works better then 20 of either or. Very strange. :-). Yes we are close. Prob about 2 miles :-) I used to have a house in the Colony on Daniels ...How old are you?

Hello,
Sandoz.. Ahh the brand Costco carries and I never tried. After experiencing different strengths and results from the diff brands I didn't want to chance a brand I never tried.. I take the IR but want to try the ER or XR. Might talk to my doc this month about trying it. They say generic meds can only be like 2% off. But all actuality and it's a fact from doctors and tests done. That many brands of generics are off as much as 20% and potency is for sure an issue as some ingredients loose potency , esp in pain meds so when made, if they active ingredients were on the shelf a little longer then they made the med. the actual pill is older then it's produced date. I did a lot of research on this and most all doctors agree that the equivalency is just not the same. Sucks they can do that. Oh, I'm. 33 b.t.w. :-)

DOES ANYONE KNOW PLACES THAT TAKE MEDICAID AND HAS/HAD IN STOCK, RECENTLY OR CURRENTLY.. THX FOR ANY INFO

I live in Phoenix and I've called 10 different pharmacies and they all said the same thing. . .This is absolutely INSANE!!! The only place that had it was Target, I filled mine (Generic 30mg XR) but it is CRAP. I even called TEVA and they told me there is all the sudden a higher demand than supply (BS). So I went to the FDA website and they aren't listing ANY shortages for Adderall XR or its generics, But you can send an email telling them about it and I'm sure if they get enough emails they will have to list some announcement on the site. Here's the email address, to report the shortage: [email protected]
