Switching Adderall From Generic To Brand

I've had it with the generic Adderall CVS brand Actavis. I used to take the brand name and had no issues. Switched insurance and can take the brand again after 5 years. If the doctor changes dose will the pharmacy fill it a week early? Im changing from generic to brand.

If it is a time released formulation, they usually will fill early if the dosage is changed. However, if it is the regular release/instant formulation, they will usually have you cut, or break your existing supply, then fill it for you, once you've exhausted what you currently have left.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?

DESPITE MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND DR WHO INCREASED MY DOSE THE PARMACIST WOULD NOT FILL THE BALANCE OUT UNTIL THE DAY AFTER II HAD RUN OUT OF MY LAST PILL. I AM HIV+ AND TEACH BALLET AND TENNIS THREE TIMES A WEEK AND HAVE A FULL TIME JOB, I FEEL TOTALLY DISREPCTED AND RIPPED OFF. I PAY $678 for my own insurance monthly in NYC so I have no cap on my prescriptions costs annually. CVS sucks period. I actually callled th CVS phone# on the back of my Insurance card that verified I could pick up that specific medication 2-4 days prior. I'm just going to switch pharmacies,I HEAR THIS CONSTANTLY about CVS.
