Adderall Backorder (Page 67) (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?

What color were that? I’ve been trying to get mine filled in Indy for weeks at Walgreens. I stopped going to cvs because they would give me pink ones

Hi I just jumped on this site!!! It's like wow, what's up ya know...anyway it's definitely a very long list but I don't see my generic adderall 20mg listed, yet it seems at least 20ish miles around me has no 20mgs. So for the next month my doctor gave me 2 scripts for 30mgs..I get them tomorrow... But I have to say I think I liked the 20mg x 2 day / rather than 30mg 1 1/2, day..the 20 seems stronger. They are both Teva brand. I have never taken any other brand to compare... SO IF I CAN'T FIND IT ON THE LIST, I HAVE TO WONDER WHY I CAN'T FIND it...now maybe it's back in stock I would not know because I have this last script to fill until my next doctor visits.

Same here - Duane Reade in NYC, never had problem there before (years)... and pharmacist really didn’t know when backorder will be resolved :( I believe she said this was specifically the 30mg

Now I was told brand name Adderall wasn't being made, period! I thought that sounded strange, but I couldn't find any info online about the brand name. Where do you get them? Are they expensive? Thanks a lot.

Re: Moomoo (# 714)

I’ve had one occurrence where I was told by the Walgreens pharmacist that he could only do a partial fill on day my (Teva 15mg generic) adderall. He said that rest would have to be picked up in a few days when I assume their order came in. I said no problem and indeed it happened just like he said. I didn’t question the fact how previously in the not too far past Walgreen told me otherwise. Teva on back order in Raleigh NC now 2mo.

Yes I take 30mg twice a day and I have been waiting for 2 weeks. The Pharmacy is telling me it's on back order from the manufacturer.

Humm, I'm from southwest Florida, I have never been to CVS for my adderall..what brand do they usually have?,.. I'm sure some areas might be different....I have only used teva brand except one time I went to a mom pop pharmacy and they had these little white almost stop sign shape..I never went back..those were a 20mg..sometimes I get the 30mg..if their is a shortage going on..but it's always teva I aim for

Re: Bp01 (# 726)

In my area of port Charlotte Florida, the teva 30mg are still on back order. So my doctor has ordered the 20mg for now...teva is the only brand i will accept unless for some reason absolutely no teva is available..it's crazy because around 5 months ago the teva 20mg were on back order, and only the 30mg were available, now it's reversed now 30mg teva is available

I live in WV and had trouble last month getting my RX filled, it was a few days late. My RX now is now on hold due to back order with no ETA. I also take 30mg x 2 daily but have just worked through my day. What gives?

Try using the discount code on its website called Good Pharmacy. It reduces it dramatically

Costco quite often carries them all the time. Call them prior.

Try Costco. Maybe you wouldn't have thought of them, but try. You don't have to be a member. Plus, they take goodrx! Or, do you have a Kroger near you?

Use goodrx - coupons on site and app that are often cheaper than your insurance! I use them for my costly meds.

Re: Wendy Garcia (# 741)

So, why don’t they just fill the name brand instead then? Everything is back ordered.

You can look up the list of backordered pharmaceuticals. The back order is due to some manufacturers breaking with discontinued products snd having to find a different option to fulfill those orders, other distributors have recently begun updating their back order status as available. I know 30mg adderall IR has been backordered for 2-3 months, same as all the strengths. Yesterday, my pharmacy received 20mg, and they seem to think this is enough reason to believe the 30mg IR will come in soon, but that isn’t anything I’ll believe until I see for myself. For more information, you can go here:

https://www.ashp.org/drug-shortages/current-shortages/drug-shortages-list?page=CurrentShortages

Shortages are at most pharmacies, and it’s probably worse if you’re near or in a big city, smaller cities with pharmacies not used as often may have leftovers they are willing to offer the remainder of if it doesn’t fulfill your whole prescription during the shortage over. Nice one pharmacy begins to be replenished, the others will be soon to follow. The backordered pharmaceuticals lift and information gets updated regularly, from what I can tell, and it lists each distributor, reasons for the shortage, the expected duration of the shortage, and it appears to update and get listed as Available when the medication/distributor/dose becomes available.

Re: Shifty nightshifter (# 745)

They will fill the supply back up soon, everything is taking awhile to adjust to an increase in new prescriptions, so says the FDA in why the shortages are occurring, as well as a discontinuation of one specific type that other distributors will need to fill in and make up for the difference in those no longer being distributed.

Re: YogagalLA (# 755)

Walgreens here in the midwest is totally out of generic Adderall IR.

I asked the pharmacist and he advised me that the reason was that they are changing from TEVA to another manufacturer.

For those who shop at Walgreens and have had negative things to say about Teva, I think if you stay with Walgreens, you are going to want to Teva back.

The Walgreens pharmacist did advise me that a grocery store name Kroger‘s has a larger supply to choose from. The authenticity of this, of course, is uncertain

Re: BlessedLady (# 757)

Another reason, possibly, for the shortage is the massive demand of college kids in high school kids getting their refills in September.

However, as stated previously in this thread, it appears Walgreens is changing it’s manufacturer.

Re: Optimistic (# 734)

The problem is multiple manufacturers such as Mylan and Sun pharmaceuticals discontinue the drug. Most pharmacies refuse to purchase Mallinckrodt. TEVA Is being bought out, and I think they’ve been using their formula for some time which explains its poor efficacy for some time. I believe those who hated Teva will soon want them back desperately.
