Adderall Backorder (Page 41)
(Newest replies first)

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?

Hey, I'm from Delaware too. My script was supposed to get filled today and I called so many pharmacies. I can only take Teva as other generics have made me irritated or have a massive headache.
Walgreens filled my script last month with no problem (6/3) Today, I found a pharmacy in MD that only had 15 tabs so my doctor wrote a script for 1 week to get the 15 tabs which were Teva and I am hoping they start to get their shipments in next week so I can get the rest!!
I would keep calling because I was told by a pharmacist that they come in randomly. Also she said it's first come, first serve so I would at least let your script sit there and in the mean time if you find another location, you can have your doctor send it there.
I know most rite aids in DE have the white ones (forget what brand) and a few MD pharmacies (smaller mom and pops) have the blue Epic ones but I can't take them. Not sure about CVS.
The only one I have found that have Teva is Walgreens!!
I can let you know if I find any. Plus most Walgreens in DE close at 6pm and are closed all weekend plus Monday due to the holiday. Ridiculous!

Re: Jiesel16 (# 1161)

Not sure why Walgreens is saying they are long term back order, specifically for the Teva 30mg IR (which I take as well), since I monitor the inventory ABC has and they have over 55k bottles (100 tablets per) on hand inventory in there Ohio DC as of 6/30. Roughly 75% of ABCs core business is sold through Walgreens, so I have to imagine when they say it’s on back order at Walgreens, it’s because ABC hasn’t redistributed it to the other local DC. Hope this helps, I’m in the same boat waiting on Walgreens to fill my prescription, and get frustrated when I hear from them it’s on back order since it’s part of my job to monitor daily sales.

We know that AmerisourceBergen has Teva. Find a pharmacy that uses ABC as a supplier. It's stocked, that's been established.

I have found Stop & Shop and Publix the most helpful.

Orders arrive in 24-72 hours.

Re: JR (# 1149)

So, let's solve the mystery of the missing meds....

As a group we have all established that

1. FDA website removed generic Adderall from shortage list on 5/31/2022.

2. Teva generics shipped a boat load to AmerisourceBergen. No shortage.

3. Walgreens, especially, either won't fill or uses crap "dollar store" knock off generic.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE $. I say it's probably the PBMs. This article busts them. I have had honest pharmacists say (apologize):

Pharmacist: "we pay more for Teva than your PBM will give us. We will lose $ on your script"

and

"We break even on your script so that could be why we aren't allowed to order your preferred brand"

Me: "but this brand literally doesn't work"

Them: "I really am sorry but corporate won't lose $ if PBMs won't cover the cost".

It doesn't seem like it is supply issue. The "truth" is leaking out that it's PBMs. What pharmacy would sell a medication for LESS than they pay for it? I GUARANTEE YOU, as an investor, that Walgreens and CVS headquarters, CEOs CFOs have 1 bottom line: Quarterly Earnings Reports, exceeding Wall street's estimates for revenue and earnings... getting good press on CNBC, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, seeing stock price uptick, and annual growth estimates increase.

No CEO of a publicly traded company Will agree to stock a very popular high volume product that they lose $ on.

Using their positions as middlemen between drug payers, producers, and dispensers, PBMs often require pharmacies to sign contracts giving them their lowest price, which discourages pharmacies.

Delaware - Out of Stock - Long-Term Back Order!

Made a post here back on June 14th bc I had trouble getting my normal script filled at the Walgreens in my area. They ended up filling w/ Camber T376 - 30mg IR’s which have been absolutely worthless. Almost seems like this is some kinda sugar placebo drug. Doesnt seem to help at all, in fact most of the time I end up getting a headache when I do decide to take that crap. My next appt is July 7th, so 6 days away & I still have 47 of 60 pills prescribed per month. These things are worthless, Walgreens should be ashamed of themselves for putting their customers in this position. Since my appt is 6 days away, I decided to call around & check with a few other Walgreens locations. Well I ended up calling a total of 17 locations that spanned as far away as 65 miles from me, but still got the same response each time - they dont have any of the 30mg Teva in stock, in fact their on long-term back order. This is some absolute BS, but unfortunately I guess there’s nothing any of us can do now but wait…..

Do any other larger pharmacy chains carry this same 30mg Teva IR’s? Like RiteAid, CVS, Walmart, Costco, etc? Or does anyone have any recommendations of what to try next? Are there any on-line shipping services available with stock or possibly some smaller compounding pharmacies? Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Mel (# 1158)

I take 20 mg, but my son takes 30 mg. They both were unavailable. He took a generic made by Camber pharmaceuticals I don't think they work very well and his are higher dose than mine. I had hoped to get the information from the company but they referred me back here.

Re: Debbie M in California (# 1156)

What mg do you take? I couldn’t get mine filled this month either. I was told by a local small pharmacy that the 20mg is what is on back order but that if the doctor writes the script for 10mgs, they can then fill it. Ex. I take 20mg twice per day so they wrote me a script for 10mg, 2 tab, 2x per day. I had to call 10 different pharmacies before I even got this information.

Be sure you find a Medicare Part D Plan that includes the Adderall you are prescribed. Some of them do and some do not.

I only take Teva brand because of the feeling of anger I get with the other generics dextroamphetamine. I had problems for months getting the prescription for my son filled and he used CVS pharmacy. The kept telling us they were on back order. I get mine from a small pharmacy that had until this month gotten mine filled and then I had him tell his doctor to send to my pharmacy. One month they got his then they couldn't and now they cant get mine either and say they don't know when they will. I wonder if this is true or there is some other reason they don't want to give us that brand. They gave my son his made by Camber Pharmaceuticals. I have take one and they don't seem to do anything to me. I am in limbo wonder what next. I am almost 65 years old and have been diagnosed since my sons were in grade school and the oldest is 38 . I really need this medication to function. Any information on the inability to get Teva Brand would be appreciated.

Re: JR (# 1149)

Thank you so much for this info! People that really need this medication are suffering. I hate to have my doctor take his order back from walgreens and put it in another pharmacy on a Friday and still get nothing. Im debating if I should just leave my script at walgreens today and just hope they get a delivery soon.

Walgreens is now pushing another generic adderall (not Teva) and just like CVS they are garbage.

Re: Rafuhh (# 1146)

I work for Teva Pharm and can confirm Adderall is not on back order. Large shipment made to ABC (AmerisourceBergen) on 6/28 who are the wholesaler for Walgreens. Orders are shipped to ABC's main DC (Distribution Center) in Ohio then redistributed across the country to there other DCs. Hopefully next couple days the orders get moved from ABC to Walgreens.

Lucky, I wish I could have gotten Teva… I’m stuck with Sandoz this month it looks like… I wish it were different.

I was told I would not be able to get Adderall at any Walgreens as it has been on back order for nearly a month (Teva). Rite Aid has it but the generic they carry doesn't agree with me. SE Michigan reporting.

Re: Rpink 378 (# 1132)

I legit called TevaPharm and they said all Adderall was available and definitely not on back order. This was 6/28/2022 and they told me to check other pharmacies. But every pharmacy only has Lanette, Sandoz, Auro, Camber. I feel so helpless.
