Adderall Backorder (Page 15)

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?

GOOD NEWS! *Update* I think the shortage is coming to an end, finally! :) I was able to fill my entire RX at the Walgreens in Altamonte Springs! I almost fell over when the Pharmacist told me "yes, I have them." I was equally surprised to find out that they were the ones I am used to getting, the generic orange ones! FINALLY! I had the white octagon ones from Wal-Mart last month, they had a square with an m in the middle on one side, and they SUCKED. They did not work, well, maybe for the first 10-20 mins, then stopped and I was yawning and cranky!!! So I would say, try the big pharmacies now peeps, because they seem to be getting back on track. Don't bother calling first though because that law has not changed. Good luck everyone!!! :)

Bostonian, I had the EXACT same issues with that form of Adderall. The white Octagon that crumbles. I don't even think it IS Adderall, I too couldn't find much online about it. Very strange. So happy to have the orange ones back. Best wishes!

Sharon, I actually did ask them. They said they have been getting in regular orders now and it shouldn't be an issue anymore. I guess I should have clarified that. Of course, you're right though, we all know how this has been going.... So only time will continue to tell... I just thought I would share some positive news for once on the subject LOL. :)

Hey Ross in Houston, it might be a drive but I got last month's RX of IR 20mgs filled at the Walgreens on N Gessner and Kempwood. After spending the day today all up and down the 290 corridor I gave them a call and they said they have it for this month as well. I have to stop by there tomorrow to pick it up.

I've checked at 15 pharmacies trying to fill a new script for 10 mg Adderall -- no luck. Any suggestions. Looking in NW Orlando area.

ask what mg.s they DO have and have your dr. rewrite your script. 25mg.s so far have NOT been a problem. ask for that! =) good luck!

Blue Cross of Florida isn't contracted with Walgreens although they had the 10 mg. Adderall in stock. I decided to contact BC before paying out the $88. for generic meds. BC gave me the names of several smaller pharmacies and I was able to find them at a reasonable co-pay. None of the larger chains had any aa vailable.

Wow, you are lucky my friend. I've called all the major pharmacies (cvs, vons, riteaid, wallgreens, ect) and I cannot find 20mg ritalin pills. This is not good. :(....

did ya see what i wrote??? :) 1rst of all, do you a Costco member? i LOVE the mail ordering!!! lol. Costco always has some on hand or can order for next day. ask any pharmicist what mg they DO have and have ur Dr. rewrite ur script for that! i haven't been having any issues with the 25mg Adderall and Costco says Ritlin hasn't been hard to order.
TRY a different mg n see how that works out! =) good luck!

I live in the huge city of Los Angeles and none of the major pharmacies have Adderall 10mg, Adderall XR 10mg, or Adderall XR 5mg in Brand or Generic. I had to call a compounding pharmacy and have them order it for me. You would that being in a huge city would mean I could get it without jumping through hoops or having to wait a week, but that is not the case.
