Adderall Backorder (Page 98)
(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?

Tampa Florida. I called over 200 pharmacies today 10-26-11 ( walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Sweetbay, Costco, Sams, privately owned places etc etc etc ) Nothing. All are out of Bar Adderall ( peach oval ) 2 places had the awful pink ones which i refuse to take. They say they will not receive them until end of Nov.

If you are currently experiencing trouble finding Adderall then please email the FDA about the shortage at their "Report A Drug Shortage" email address below :

try calling sams in eastgate, target on beechmont or check cvs online pharmacy. this is due to the DEA putting such a small amount of allowed manufacturing of them vs. the amount being prescribed

Oh and one more thing. I live in and work in DC. There was supposed to be a session on the Hill regarding this issue but it was canceled. Hmmmm maybe it was because half of the politicians couldnt make it into work because the can't get thier Adderall filled or it's due to all of the damn lobbyist's that have invaded DC. So don't say this isn't a political issue. Of course it is. It's a 100% failure of our government systems & policies due to their interests. There is a major mental health issue unfolding. I wrote the FDA in May when I first encountered the supply issue. They responded that they were working on it and the problem should be corrected very shortly. Well now it's almost November and has the supply issue been corrected? I think not. The entire country is out of Adderall and I am furious that the FDA allowed this to happen. I suggest everybody go to the FDA's website and write them. You need to take action people. The doctors are still gonna take your money and write your scripts even if there is no Adderall available. The people, You, Us, need to stop Blogging about it and start writing the FDA, your local politicians, news media and anybody that will spread the word. Somebody needs to be held accountable because all that Washington is currently doing is pointing fingers.....and printing more money but that's an entirely different topic. Speak and let your voices be heard!!!!

If people are losing jobs over it then it is a political issue. And as to the statement that was made saying there is no shortage of XR....well that's false. If there is no supply of the ingredient then create jobs to create the supply! But they cant due to FDA regulations....Again a political factor. We all know the government can do what they want. They can just
create more money when they want so somebody needs to step up and create more medication or I'll soon be unemployed because I've been on a high dose of this for 12 years and can't function without it!

First -- let's keep the politics out of it. Anyone who cares to read knows that repvublican congress has failed to fund almost every pert of Obamacare,

I realize it's just a knee jerk reaction to you guys to blame Obama (cuz it's always so much easier to tear someone dowt then to help yourself (or, God forbid, your neighbor), back up.

The reason for this problem is two fold - (1) too many children are having children and and they just don't know that kids ALWAYS run around like fruit flies on crack and that parenting is a full time job cutting into their teenage partying years - so the answer must be the kid has ADHD ans needs some drugs to calm down.

And, the other reason is that the pharmarceutical companies are trying to capitalize on a patient glut by making fewer of their cheapest drugs. You'll notice that that there is no shortage of the XR varierty of adderall that still has patent protection or a shortage of the new Vyvanse - nope, just the cheap non patented IR form of Adderall (and apparently Dexedrine, too). And this is nationwide, folks, I read all your complaints, and I'm in Hawaii and just hand the same problem and I talk regularly with people in South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Kansas that are having the exact same problem. Now, I know what I'm going to do next month, but I can't tell of you, cuz then you'd all do it to and then Id be buggered again, but I promise that Ill let you what I do in a month if it works.

This definitely shows the flaws with ObamaCare. God forbid the tax paying working middle class be able to get their meds. There is a government cover up going on right under our noses. Obama wants zombies and people to rely on his big government. He wants to dumb everybody down. Of course there is no shortage of Vicodin or Oxycotin is there? Blame Obama, the FDA & the DEA folks. We need to take to the streets while we are still awake!!!!

The last drug shortage update was done on 7/12/2011. I called Shire, XR is supposed to be available everywhere.
There is a number to call the FDA to report drug shortages. I had to leave a voice mail, waiting for callback.
Everyone needs to start reporting!

I live in new jersey. There is a shortage here as well. I have tried everywhere in new jersey and parts of pennsylvania. This has left patients with needs in a vulnerable position and I agree with previous posts about a class action suit. First we need to find who is accountable.

I'm in San Angelo, Texas. The HEB has them in stock, 180 pills @ 10mg is $435.00. At the Walmart its $432.00 and thru MHMR its $179.00. I'm on a fixed income and I used to pay $28.00. So these new prices don't help me. Might help someone with insurance. Also, I'm now on Ritalin, but it seems to be harsh on my stomach. Hope all find relief soon.

The information from the FDA lists that all current manufacturers reported shortages due to supply issues.

However, Shire Pharmaceuticals has reported that their supply has improve, though it is still limited. They offer a pharmacy locator service by phone, so you can check and see what pharmacy in your area has it in stock.

Call 800-828-2088 and select option 5 in the automated system.

Are there any other comments or questions?

My DR just spoke with the medication sales rep and told him that adderall will not be in production until the summer of 2012 due to a FDA issue. Nothing else has been working for me as far as focusing and concentration....

I tried 4 different pharmacies in my area today and all of them said the fast acting Adderall is out of stock until the end of the year. This is absolutely unacceptable. So how is someone supposed to function if they don't have their medicine? Just go through withdrawal until January?

I live in Cincinnati and take 10mg tablets. I called at least 25 pharmacies in Cinci and all are out. I even called pharmacies in Dayton and Columbus - no one has it. Don't know what I'm gonna do.

After talking to my nurse practioner, I finally convinced her that it was their responsibility to take care of what ever symptoms I had, with or without Adderall. She changed my med to Ritalin. We shall see how it works. I have fibro, so concentration is almost non-existant when in bad episode. I've heard that the drug companies that manufacture Adderall just wanted to make more money. We've all heard that before. I mean, its not like they ran out of the substances that they use to make the med. Doesn't make sense. Good luck all.

There have been a lot of posts about this recently, though I am not certain why there is a shortage, just that the companies have reported one.

Have any of you consulted your doctors about using an alternative medication in the meantime?
