Adderall Backorder (Page 21)

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?

Oooh wow! you sure you're ADD an not BIPOLAR? aha! an uuuh yeah, i know all about "my condition" thank you. I've also tried giving some good advice on where to go to ensure getting your meds, it's up to those who really want it to try it. so i believe i am free to be here, to try n help, to comment or try lightening the mood if i so wish to. however, what i meant, in joking was, that everyone who couldn't get their meds (any kind), would then expect a task force, and that would just never happen. maybe you missed my "lmao"? ((it meant "laughing my ass off" as in, joking)). so, lighten up! ('8; even when i miss my meds i'm not a b**** lol. happy hunting! (:

Yes, I am also having this problem. I take 40 mg of the XR daily, today is the second day without. I do have about 30 10 mg pills but that won't last long at all. I don't understand the shortage. If pharma companies are trying to get the ADD patients using a new drug that's one thing. When they mess with the daily lives of of those of us who need this to stay awake to work, that's messed up. I would like to know how long they expect this to last? I've never not had my meds so I'm not sure if I'll have any type of withdrawal or not...

When I go to the pharmacy to get my 30 day supply of 10 mg brand Adderall, (thats two a day) the pharmacist informs me the new price is $328.00. (with discount) . I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 23 while in the military. I am now 84. I still take Adderall. I am satisfied with my personal life. My wife and I have a great family. (no ADHD) Without Adderall there is no possibility I could enjoy the life I have today. I can afford $380.00 for the Adderall. It is a crime that today most folks cannot. When one does get the medication. We don't know the exact ingredients. If that's not a crime John Dillenger is my hero..

Wow you've been on this for "60 yrs" and you're still only needing 20mg a day? Wow, that much wouldn't touch me at all, especially after many yrs, i've been taking 70mg a day after 6 yrs.

Why don'tcha try 'medsadvocates' prescription assistance program and you can get it for free, along with many other meds if needed! For up yo a year if you're approved (financially). it's Vyvance but works just as great! :) then try the "smaller" pharmacies, they seem to be able to get it no problem! Good luck!

Same. Orlando and I've been to every pharmacy from here to Timbuktu. It was like that last month as well.

I find myself on average going to anywhere from 3-8 a month to fill my script.

My favorite part is that my pharmacist seems to think it acceptable that they refer me to another pharmacy where I "might get lucky"

Since when should I need to be lucky to pay for a prescription I obtained for a medical need legally from a doctor?

I'm in Windermere area and can't find it anywhere. I went to 15 CVS/Walgreens yesterday from i drive to Clermont and every single one said the same thing (back order). Have you had any luck?

That is way too expensive for you to be paying. You can get 60 pills for under $50 at Costco and you do not need to be a member to use their pharmacy. If you do not have a Costco around, it does pay to call all of the pharmacies in your area and get their prices. I do it with all of my scripts because there is major difference when you are paying cash prices.

The shortage is not caused by the drug companies, its a government mandated shortage.

Thanks Robin. I'll try to find it next time. I'm on the westside and usually have no luck searching up and down Roosevelt Blvd. or 103rd St.

I live in Daytona Beach and all of a sudden I can't get my script filled. Everyone is quoting this recall and so it's back ordered. I went to 4 different places today. Does anyone know anything about this?

Same here in CT. 20mg is available but my pharmacy, (Walgreens) only had 28, 30mg Teva brand, and I needed 60 for the month. The woman said they are on backorder. I had to go to a different pharmacy to get Cor 30mg pinks. Not the same thing, hence me writing this post in the middle of my work day.

I finally found the round pink ones at a pharmacy no where near my house. Of course they didn't take my insurance so $110 later, I'm not happy. But at least I got it filled. This is so irresponsible. I don't know who I wanna blame, but it's irresponsible of someone to let this happen. Not having them for 3 days was so crappy, I actually fell asleep during a root canal. I feel sorry for parents whose kids need this medication and can't get it.
