Adderall Backorder (Page 18)

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?

REPORT

Samsun ..I was told by my doctors office manager that Walgreens is the first people to run out because they don't have a limit on how many they dispense where CVS does have a quota. If you think it's dry now wait until between now and the New Year. Also Walgreens had a sign on the drive thru stating in October any form of hydrocodone has be reclassified as a schedule 2 and you can no longer refill with a new prescription.

Well i just left another and found someone that was honest, as of 9/15/14 there is a 10 pt protocol, 10 of 10 must be met or they will not fill. Part of this protocol is the rx must be from a mental hlth specialist ONLY, your Dr & home must be within 5 mi of their store, they will no longer fill a cont subst UNLESS you have health ins ( NO out of pocket customers at all), you must have filled at their location ONLY for the past 6 consecutive mos., and more that i cant even recall at this time. I was also told that they were fined $10 mil by the DEA recently and told if they didnt decrease their #'s that they would face $20 mil fine + cert stores would lose their disp liscence from the DEA. Walgreens is now scared and leaving all of us hung out to dry. Now other retailers have had to absorb Walgreens cust & cant accomodate them because of their own quotas enforced by the DEA.

I just sent mine in for the first time to optumrx. These people treat u like a Meath head trying to get this stupid rx filled. I get 3 20s a day and called or visited over 15 places and said f it... I'm trying this. How long does it take to arrive from the day u sent it in for the first time? They say ten days but people who have used it say as little as 5. Does that include shipping?

It's very simple!!! . . . . Just go to Costco's website an click into pharmacy then simply open the home mail delivery link n fill out ur info. then mail in ((using USPS 2~3 day priority mail, for tracking, only about $8 or $9.!)), ur prescription! THAT'S IT! then, sit back n wait till ya get an email telling you it's been mailed to ya an u should get it in a few days! =). You can also change the delivery method to 2~3 days n pay yourself but they're pretty quick as it is, so i'd save ur $! "i" paid for that b'cuz i needed it sooner lol.

IF u need help u can set it up by just calling them as well; #1-800-607-6861. DO IT GIRL!!! WHEN U GET UR STRESS-FREE MAILED MEDS, lol, YOU'LL ASK URSELF, "Y THE HELL DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER, ((WHEN SHARON 1st POSTED THIS INFO"))?!?! lmao! =0. let me know if n when ya do it ok??? good luck!

I doubt he will write for 3 mos at a time, i was going to mail just a single mos script to get filled, thats still acceptable correct???

oh yeah absolutely! 3 months is just the allowed amount you can get. doesnt hurt to ask'm tho! my dr. is the one who volunteered that amount so it'd save me $$ in dr. visits =)
let me know how it works out! did u go to the Costco pharmacy website & fill out ur info? that has to be done before they'll send you the meds!!!
good luck =)

Filling a script for Adderall this time of year is always a pain in the butt. I've heard different stories of why pharmacies are out of stock. I've heard that the FDA/DEA allows so much a year of the raw ingredients to be made. Another one is supply and demand. And the one I hate worst which I'm sure happens a lot, the pharmacy doesn't want to fool with filling the scripts because of the little extra paperwork they have to do. They all treat you like drug addicts. This is the reason I've switched to Vyvanse, which works better for me. Good luck to all of you trying to fill an Adderall script. Some doctors will write for 3 months worth and it is legal, so I would definitely use a mail ordering service like Costco, etc. Talk to your doctor about alternatives too.

It is not just Adderall, it seems ALL drugs from this TEVA Pharmaceuticals are all on
back order! Mine is a very simple tylenol #4, on backorder since October 6, 2014! (It is VERY common, so why is it that NO ONE in Nevada at least, can get such to fill
prescriptions?). I think there is something very odd going on with this TEVA company.
(Perhaps Chinese fakes? Contamination?) CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!!!
