Adderall Backorder (Page 58) (Top voted 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?

Yup, Charlotte NC's annual Amphetamine-Salt shortage. No one here has them. I get 105 30mg Adderall, and then 70mg Vyvanse... try having your doctor (though when this happened last year mine did) write an equivalent RX for dextro-stat (generic)... comes in 5s and 10s...

In 2012 the DEA filed an $80M case against 1 of the three distribution centers for Wall greens. It is located in Florida. This included suspending the distribution of type 2-5 drugs. This is reported to be in effect until September of 2014 based on what is posted on the internet Ironically it was due to Oxycodone not Adderal but affects its availability just the same. I had to switch pharmacies. When they wanted to charge me 10 times the normal price for my prescription I decided there had to be a problem with Wallgreens rather than Adderal.

When you go to the pharmacy with your script, ask the pharmacist when their truck/supply comes in. They will usually tell you. Speak to the pharmacist, not anyone else.

I take the generic quick release 15mg and mine is on backorder as well. I take it for ADHD.

Yes, I ended up switching to Vyvanse but it can be just as difficult to get. It's name brand/costs more, extended release, and slightly different from Adderall. Might be comparable to Adderall XR.

It is a new year. My pharmacist says they have been trying to order it 3 weeks ago. I also couldn't find any information online for it. I heard it was an issue about getting one of the raw materials.

Same problem in tampa, fl. Is the problem isolated to 20mg only?

There's a shortage on all dosages. My doctor recommended switching to 10mg 4x daily, but I couldn't find 10mg anywhere here in Tampa either.

There is literally no adderall in any dosage at any pharmacy in Tampa, and I've called them all. They keep saying "back order," but a pharmacist I spoke with today explained that production of the drug has literally been halted indefinitely due to DEA regulations. This could last for months. In my opinion, it seems like some sort of ploy to force people to buy outrageously priced brand name drugs.

Same thing going on here in Los Angeles California.
I have a script for 5mg 2times a day and here Target is a good pharmacy. They told me its been back ordered from the company for about 3 weeks with no known reason or certainty when it will become available again.

I just checked the FDA listings and the listing is for amphetamine aspartate which is different. Its similar but not the same compound. I called teva pharmaceuticals and they let me know that it is not on back order fro their end that it is a problem with the pharmacy's wholesaler. they also let me know that there is no pan on discontinuing the medication.

it can't be "every single pharmacy's" fault. i work at Costco and they always (mostly) have all meds in stock. i too have been EVERYWHERE and they're all out with the same "unknown eta" answer. except MY pharmacy, Monday they said they'd be getting it Friday (( 1/31/14 tomorrow! =D )). dunno what mnfgr it'll be, IF they do get it, but will let ya'll know what happens! i researched as well and Teva had no answer for shortage. the site said end of Jan. should all be available though! hope so, good luck all!!! =D
