Adderall Backorder (Page 85)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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?

Sharon, I actually did ask them. They said they have been getting in regular orders now and it shouldn't be an issue anymore. I guess I should have clarified that. Of course, you're right though, we all know how this has been going.... So only time will continue to tell... I just thought I would share some positive news for once on the subject LOL. :)

Bostonian, I had the EXACT same issues with that form of Adderall. The white Octagon that crumbles. I don't even think it IS Adderall, I too couldn't find much online about it. Very strange. So happy to have the orange ones back. Best wishes!

GOOD NEWS! *Update* I think the shortage is coming to an end, finally! :) I was able to fill my entire RX at the Walgreens in Altamonte Springs! I almost fell over when the Pharmacist told me "yes, I have them." I was equally surprised to find out that they were the ones I am used to getting, the generic orange ones! FINALLY! I had the white octagon ones from Wal-Mart last month, they had a square with an m in the middle on one side, and they SUCKED. They did not work, well, maybe for the first 10-20 mins, then stopped and I was yawning and cranky!!! So I would say, try the big pharmacies now peeps, because they seem to be getting back on track. Don't bother calling first though because that law has not changed. Good luck everyone!!! :)

I'm in apopka now but have always lived off Red Bug Lake Rd I just go to 1 or 2 different Walgreens in APopka.. I won't drive around. Don't have time or energy for it. I think I've established a pretty good relationship with my pharmacist so they usually will always fill it for me if they have it.

Angie, you got lucky even with that! Right when this first became a problem, Yep Ross, around Christmas, I had to take over HALF less of my 60. NO BUENO!! :( Angie, what part of Orlando are you in? I am in Altamonte and have tried Costco, Publix, and Wal-Mart with nada, I would take half my script at this point. This is so annoying! These drug companies need to get it together!

I had to take 15 less from Walgreens in Orlando FL. I get the orange 20s that's the only ones I've had. Is there a better Brand from somewhere else I can try? Dont know much about these only been on for 5 months. I thought filling oxys back in the day was a pain. This sucks and I'm not about to drive all around Orlando. I hope they get this shortage over control soon ...

Shortage here in metro Houston. One walgreens in Baytown, Tx told me three months. I have another small pharmacy I'm going to try tomorrow.

Every month since Christmas I've dealt with this. Sick of it.

You are certainly not the only one. This is crazy! I agree with Sharon, and thank you for the advice! I will get my Dr. to re-write it for a different strength and hopefully I will have luck. Still not listed on the FDA shortage list so I am not sure as to why this is still an issue and has been since the new year. I have had slight issues before, but only for a matter of a few days, never months! Sucks that we can't get our medication that we are prescribed and need. :(

Thank you Sharon! :) I tried Costco yesterday, they were out until "maybe next week." Though Publix did say they just did not have the 20 mg in stock..so...yeah, my Dr will re-write it for another MG...but it still is not going to be a gurantee that we find that one. SO ANNOYED! I really appreciate your response! I tried Publix, Walmart, and then Costco..I will try some private pharmacies on Monday because this is out of control. I will update as I find out more! :) Good luck everyone!!

Hello again :-) I just filled and got a brand I never had before, in Generic Adderall, I have had it in generic pain meds.. But anyways, it is mallinckrodt brand.. It tastes soo bad, like a after taste of chemichals, does not seem to work , and makes me feel a bit strange... I have had Barr/Teva (same company now) and then I had the Corepharma and then a long time ago the original Adderall name brand, no longer made... But this is terrible, and now I am stuck with them until I go back to my DR. in a month... I changed to a 30 from 20 due to the 20mg shortage... I am soo ma that i need to take this garbage for 30 days, as I am sure there is nothing that can be done... Not like paying for a tool at home depot, you can bring it back if it does not work... It is sooooo crazy how each generic brand of Mixed amphetamine Salts differ... EVERY brand I have tried reacts different.... This one make me sick to my stomach, like it has large amounts of Lactose ( in milk) in it and makes me feel sick as I am lactose intolerant, but can have cheese and some dairy without issues. Not to keep going on and on, but there should be a way to have this issue resolved in a case like this... It is a pure fact it is not normal, it falls apart into crumbs when you try to snap it in half, And I cant find much info on the images online, it just says M with a square box on the back and 30 on the front and is in the shape of a octagon

Same here. And this isn't the first time. But it is the first time the pharmacy is telling me more than a week to get my script in. I take it for narcolepsy too. Good to know I'm not the only one!

"NOPE"! ~ ~ KC, it is NOT in your mind! lol. i've experienced the same effects! =) some dr.s agree it's true cuz of the diff ingredients an some dr.s say it doesn't make a diff, the stUpid dr.s say tht! lol. but you're not the only one!!! ;)
. . . .also a bit of advice to you an everyone, 1rst of all, anyone try COSTCO?!? well, what "I" did, was find out in person from the pharmicist, what they DO HAVE in stock an get your script rewritten!!! then before your next appt. ask again to avoid having to get a rescript an tell your dr. what's going on.
. . . .i have actually gotten my last 2 scripts alot easier this way! some pharmacies DO have diff mg's but fail to volunteer that info!!!! the 20mg's are most written an that's what everyone is saying where the biggest shortage is. i read they use diff ingredients in diff mg's an 20's are the most in demand.
. . . .so try that! an i hope it helps! good luck ya'll =D ~ Sharon

So aggravated! Thankfully I saved a weeks worth from my last RX because I prepared for this, although I hoped I would not have to. It sounds like this issue isn't going away anytime soon though and that is really an issue with me, because no one should have to be without their prescribed medications all because of some strange shortage. Hey St Cloud! Sorry I didn't catch your name before writing this. I was on Vyvanse before Adderall, and it didn't do anything for me, so I hope it works for your daughter! :) I guess I was lucky to find them at Walmart last month, it seems like they are the only place anyone has luck...Good luck peeps, I am going to try again in a few days and will update then. :)
