Adderall Backorder (Page 88)
(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?

Please let me know if anyone can fill in Orlando. I've heard some people being told the end of the month. Then again after reading these post it sounds like no one knows exactly what's the problem is. Sucks !!!!

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

Honestly, it all sounds fishy to me. I am guessing that there is probably some illegal distribution going on behind the scenes. It has had such a dramatic impact that NO ONE has answers to that I imagine an explanation will surface soon. Either that or they just have s***ty wholesalers that don't know how to do their job of meeting supply n demand.

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.

I'm from Nevada and I had issues with filling my prescription at the beginning of the month. I ended up having to go to a pharmacy a few miles away. One thing I noticed is that the pharmacy I filled at carried Corepharma adderall, while the two (one of which was Walgreens) I tried to fill at were getting their supplies from Teva (I know this because I filled prescriptions at those two pharmacies previously). I'm wondering if it's limited to Teva? Anyway, I'm supposed to get my next 30 days on Saturday, and I'm a little anxious about it.


Also, I looked on the FDA website. If you look up Adderall in their drug list, it says that generic adderall in all dosages is discontinued. Some clicking around revealed that the specific company was Teva.

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.

Has anyone heard any news on when this shortage will end?

Extremely aggravating! I grew up in Tampa, and my friends who live there and have prescriptions for Adderall, are not experiencing problems filling it anymore. RIGHT after the new year, they were though. I have called Walgreens corporate, and they said that Florida and Denver are being hit the hardest with these new laws, when I asked them to elaborate, they would not. My doctor told me to avoid Walgreens for this reason, they have become increasingly sketchy since the new year. I am sticking with Publix, they seem to at least have SOME answers. I will let everyone know what happens on January 30th, when I am due to get my next RX for Adderall filled, since I had to forgo way more than half of my RX for December due to them not having enough in stock to fill all 60. VERY ANNOYED!

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.

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.

How does the $80 million dollar Walgreens legal suit affect aderrall production? The suit was for pain pills.

Why isn't the shortage listed under current drug shortages by the FDA. I can't find any info on this current shortage other than this website. I have emailed the FDA for the shortage and I think if everyone does it, maybe then it will be addressed.

I live in Orlando, Florida, and I have been having issues getting my Adderall 20mg RX for 60 pills, filled anywhere. It was almost 3 weeks with everywhere telling me it had been on backorder! I tried Publix, and they had only 14 pills left in stock. They told me I could fill my RX for that, but I had to forgo the entire rest of my RX. This worked for me, because my doctor writes me a second prescription for the next month, and I can get that filled, (MAYBE?!).. in a few days. Since I had already waited almost a month, I went for this option. I have been breaking them in half to 10 Mgs in order to save them because I have a feeling it is going to be hard again when I attempt to fill my next RX. I am not sure what is going on, it is extremely frustrating having to drive around all day to different pharmacies, because most won't/can't tell you via phone if it is in stock or not due to some new DEA law. I did go to my doctor and he was willing to re-write my RX for a different dosage, but I do not think that would have helped, so I just left it the same, which worked for the 14 at least. I heard it may be a manufacturing issue, but for this long of a time?!!? I have been searching online for answers, and the drug companies, seem to be keeping extremely mum on this issue.

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.

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.

We'll it's a new year. I've been looking since the 4th. Are we waiting for them to hit stores since it is the new year???
I just would like to know if this is a medication that will be back in our pharmacies by next month?? This is just so stressful. I really do not want to have to switch to something else but I heard the next closest thing to Adderall is vyvanse ? Does that sound about right to anyone ?
