Adderall Backorder (Page 17)

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?

You can't get adderall through the mail, it's a controlled substance. Costco makes you show your ID & Costco card when getting it filled.

Actually, yes you can get it filled through the mail, legally... I found out my insurance uses OptumRx for our pharmacy claims, and they also offer mail delivery, free of charge. I mail mail them my Adderall script each month, they receive it and verify it is legit, and then mail it to me. It is in my mail box a few days later. Only a $5 copy, and I do send it USPS with delivery confirmation, about 5 bucks extra a month... but it saves me so much time not having to play musical pharmacies!

NICHOLE ~ tell your dr. ya wanna use costcos home delivery program an he should write you a 3 month script (which will say delivery only on it), then go to costco's website, pharmacy and fill out the form. you will be verified through there. you must be a costco member and or have your info at your local costco pharmacy I dont remember if ya do, (I'm an employee). I've done this 3 times already so dont listen to the comment after your last!!! TRUST ME ITS FOR REAL!!!! :) U WONT REGRET IT!

I discovered last month that I could get my Adderall legitimately refilled through the mail...I have UnitedHealth Care and they use OptumRX to handle pharmacy claims and such, but I just mail in my Rx, with tracking and delivery confirmation of course, and it is processed in about 2 days. I got it within 5 days of sending it in. Copay is still only $5, but it is such a great relief not to have to play musical pharmacies.

is this the same Chris as the comment below from the 15th??? lol mail delivery right to ur door is AWWESOME aint it?!?!? =) ??

GAIL ~ Costco takes many insur. i believe! an as ANY other pharmacy, if urs wont "let" you, then pay for it urself if ya can. many ppl seem to be willing to just pay for it to get it an at least it's available without running around every month right? s***, MY Dr. writes me 3 months at a time, that's the allowed (( for that med I think)). jUs' DOOO IT! lol

Same here - went to 4 pharmacies in NYC - all backordered. I use Adderral for ADHD at work and it really helps me get my assignments/tasks done. Disappointed.

It has nothing to do with the company accepting insurance, it is my insurance company that won't pay for 3 months at a time unless I switch from basic to standard

~ ~ my Dr. JUST mentioned to me 3 days ago about how ins. co's are possibly sending a letter to inform ppl that they're only gonna allow ppl to take 1 pill a day, doc says it's cuz of $$$ of course & told me not to worry about it tho.
~ ~ now, you "should" still be able to use that service to at least get ur meds without running around. you'll just get 1 month at a time that's all, i don't "think" they can prohibit you from using the Costco delivery program, unless Costco doesnt take your ins. you'll just do it monthly.
~ ~ i'm only 4 days away from (again) receiving my meds in the mail, an it feels SOOO GREAT that i didn't have to run around stressing about it or wonder IF/WHEN i'll ever get it!!!
~ ~ at least find out if your ins. HAS a del program you can use if Costco's not on your plan! =) GOOD LUCK n let me know how it works out ok?

It took me 4 days to partially fill my prescription. CVS gave me 40-15mg and told me I would lose the other 20 because that was all they had. I was told to get my doctors office to call and verify they only gave me 40 & the doctor would need to write me A new prescription for the remaining 20 that they didn't have. 2 of the pharmacist said it was against the law for them to give me the other 20 because it is a C2. A pharmacist also recommended that I get my doctor to change me to a 10mg because they are more common and prescribe me to take 1 1/2 twice a day. Prior to CVS I took it to Sams Club and left it for 3 days because I was told the order would be in by Friday. That didn't happen so I tried numerous Walgreens and CVS throughout Orlando. On Sunday I finally decided to chat with Walgreen pharmacy online. I was given an apology and told none of their stores had it because there is a technical difficulty with the manufacturer and they all the store have back orders. I was also told that CVS has a restricted count on how much medication they dispense at a time but Walgreens doesn't. I'm not sure if that is true or not.

I do also have a friend who doctor originally wrote him 15 mg and his insurance wouldn't pay for 15mg but would pay for 10mg. So he took his prescription back to his doctor and got them to change it to 10 mg and got them with no problem.

I called my doctor and tried to get him to write for 20 more of the 15 mgs Adderrall that I was missing because I was only able to find 40 but had a prescription for 60. Well today while getting vitamins I decide to speak with the Winn. Dixie pharmacist. I asked him which strengths of Adderrall are easiest to fill and his response was 10, 20 & 30s are easiest to get. I'm in NW Orlando and the pharmacist recommended that I ask my doctor to give me 30 mg instead of 2 -15s because 15s are harder to get. Given that my doctor prescribed one at lunch and the other at 3pm. I really don't feel the full effect until I take the 2nd dose. Maybe he did it to wean me on and see what my tolerance would be because I was on Ritalin at first, but it didn't work so well for me. I was on Ritalin and still couldn't focus on studying or anything else. I asked for something different because I could be in the middle of something, get distracted and totally lose my train of thought. My doctor suggested changing me to Adderrall and for me it is so much better than Ritalin. Im glad the the pharmacist suggested asking to change my strength to 30 because I can't feel anything on one 15mg. I made an appoint to see doctor for tomorrow so I hope all goes well. I wonder if insurance will let him write me two 30s per day.

I feel your frustration! This is absolutely ridiculous, driving all day around town, trying to find a pharmacy (I know damn well they have them) just to be told, "We have none in stock, they are on back order." I go to Walgreens yesterday (where i ALWAYS have gone to fill SAME meds, for 4 straight yrs) and am told i have to be verified through a 10 point check system, which could take up to 30 days. SERIOUSLY?!?!? Are you kidding ??? Anyway.....Errrrr.. On a more positive note, anyone looking in Jax, Fl., you cam find them (with no issues) at Smart Pharmacy.

Adderall shrtg...i have driven to 21 pharmacys in the past 2 days in the Jacksonville area, same bulls*** tag line, we are out currently. 1 pharmacist at a Publix was honest and said they have quotas assigned by the DEA, each store can sell a certain #, if they sell this amount in 10 days they have to hold onto their remaining supply until day 31 before they can sell again. The DEA denies the existence of a quota program but if you go on their website there is a link for pharmacies to apply for a quota, hmmmm? Just what i figd. Sick of being lied to by pharmacies that i should never have to doubt. The biggest violator is without a doubt Walgreens, which is why they will never have my business again!!!
