Adderall Backorder (Page 19)

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

Well an update....my rx showed it DELIVERED on Thurs am, a little later at 2 pm i recvd a vmail from Costco and called back exactly 1 hr later when i left work to be told that my order was cancelled, why i ask, your SavRx insur info is a disc card and we dont accept disc cards, hmmm, i tell him it IS NOT a disc card but my Rx INSURANCE COVG and he argues with me, i tell him its an opyuon on their dropdwn menu for insur, he says its not while im staring at it. I finally get him to realize its insurance and then he says " well your Rx was just mailed back to you", they had it for 3 hrs then call me and w/in an hour mailed it back. They didnt even give me an hour to call and remedy the situation, this is insane, he finally xfers me to a Pharmcst and had to convince her my SavRx was insur too, i give her all my info and she says she can call and verify then i could mail the Rx back when i get it and she could then fill it, i agreed to this so she takes my # and says she will call back in a bit. 30 mins later she calls and says shes sorry and that i do have insur BUT my insur has their own mail Pharm and they wont pay for Costco. At this point ive pulled all but 1 hair from my head, soo i call SavRx & explain then ask for instr to mail them for filling and she says they wont fill Sched II over the mail & to bring it to a local pharm. Hmmm like i havent tried that already, sooooo at this point i either change meds or look for indiv Rx insur that Costco accepts and send it back to them which will be at least 2 wks before i would get my meds.....i am soo beat down over all of this that i now need a friggin xanax script to relax, jk, but this is seriously the most aggravating thing in all my life, completely at my wits end at this point!!!!!!

Paying cash is no problem but now the few places that actually have it wont allow you to pay in cash because thats a RED FLAG, so says the DEA.

She said they would not fill it unless i had ins coverage, she would NOT let me pay in cash once my insurance denied payment due to my insur having their own mail service.

After reading all these messages regarding availability and coverage I think the insurance companies and possibly the FDA or whichever federal agency is responsible for availability of controlled access prescriptions need to be sued. This is ridiculous and it's not our fault it's exploited.

Costco online told u they cant fill it cuz u have ur own mail in service??? that just doesnt sound right. they fill general public weather or not they use $$ or their ins. and i have even used them "without" using my ins.
i will call them an get some info for you ok? =)

California new rules, I have a July prescription. I have visited 14 stores to fill 30mg instant. Its all on backorder. I ask to leave the script and tell me when they get it in. Im told to keep the script its ... November. I ve called, the pharmacy is not allowed to tell you if they have pills in stock. Yesterday, I told "new employee" about how my prescription is going to expire before I get the meds. She took the script and said it would be in tuesday. Rather frustrating.

I swear it's unbelievable that pharmacys now act like God! The hoops they're making us all jump through to get ADD meds. Our drs prescribed, marginally profiled, criminalized, etc. Florida's especially tough. One Walgreens in my whole area has adderall 20 mgs and suddenly told me they'd call me and let me know. I waited and then called my dr. Who said she would call, she did and was given no reason but, that they chose not to fill it for me.....

Samsun ~ just spoke to Costco rep online an he said if ur insr co. allowed auth then you can use them but no cash online due to the fact that they cant track weather someone goes to other places to get more when paying cash (it's the insr co. that truly tracks going to more than 1 place so they just did away with it for online meds), told'm i was askin for a friend an he was very apologetic. now, Costco locations will take cash if u can find 1 that has it, ask if THEY can obtain from online program for you! otherwise he says to call ur insr or ur online delivery program again, they "SHOULD HAVE IT" cuz they all buy in bulk (that's why i never have a problem). tell them if they can not get it then u want auth to go to Costco! you need ur meds! he said to demand it! lol gosh i really hope this helps ya! ??

Has anyone had any problems filling their adderall 20 mg script in Jacksonville,Fl? I don't get a new script until next week but I'm so afraid of the pharmacies being out like last year.

I am having issues in El Paso Texas! The pharmacy I go to usually takes a week to get it from the time it is ordered. I ordered last week and they haven't gotten a shipment this week. I do not have insurance and I need the generic. I called all over the city to find supply, but there isn't a pharmacy that has what I need.
