Walgreens Adderall

I am hearing that Walgreens is putting a 24-48 hour hold on my ADHD Medication, Adderall. Are the rumors of an Adderall shortage true? If I could afford Vyvanse I would prefer to be prescribed them, but I can't. I have been getting the generic Adderall for over two years now and I was prescribed them 20 years ago in High School. I am curious to know if it is true and why? If my date on my script is the day of fill, why would I have to wait an extra one or two days without them? ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? Have you actually been told this by someone in the Walgreen's pharmacy or is it just a rumor you've heard? I haven't heard anything about this and see no reason for them to do so, unless they have to order the medication in, or contact the doctor to ensure that it'...

According to the following article from Walgreens (dated February 2023), there are a number of key factors that may be influencing potential drug shortages when it comes to Adderall and other popular prescription medications as well; including but not limited to post-pandemic supply chain constraints (such as manufacturing issues and other industry-controlled factors, such as raw materials), increased consumer demand, and federally regulated rules surrounding certain medications, to name a few. [1] [2] Walgreens themselves go on to admit that pharmacists should be the ones keeping their providers informed on drug shortages to ensure patients can get the medicines they need as quickly as possible - whereas in some instances, a medication may be available, but the specified dosage is no...

One of the worst generics I had at Kroger’s was Zydus. Switched to Walgreens and they have Teva. Kroger is cheap for everything else though. Xanax bars for 120 are like 12 bucks. Effexor is like 5 bucks. Cialis for 90 is only like 25 and it’s over 100 at Walgreens. So I get everything but my Adderall at kroger.

well i never had a problem with other pharmacys and the generic name... well i thought i had to go to another doc because i could not sleep... since i got ativan from activas... trust me they r sugar pills and i am going to my psyc. and show him and get this resolved...also the adderall from the company called core pharmacy... does nothing because i have both adderall from barr... so i am wasting my money and my medication is not working right barr works core does not i did a test to see just what i was paying for and believe me u all need to do is ask the doc to change the rx or only use the pharmacy that gives the real stuff... this is a scam and i am going to bring it to the attention of my psy...hope this help... ## They say that active ingredients in generic medications can range f...

I have been waiting for my D-Amphetamine 20mg to be filled for two weeks now and finally today an hour ago I got a call from Walgreens saying my Rx was ready for pickup! At the pharmacy the only thing I noticed was the price difference of $12 to now $20 for my script. No big deal at least I got it! Now Walgreens usually has only Lannett pharma here in Florida and today my pills were different. They are round peach color with the imprint T 375 by Ascent pharmaceutical, inc... ? I never heard of them, are they any good? I just took two and I will come back to let you know and any info I'd appreciate! Thanks. ## Come back, we wanna hear! ## How did you find the Ascent brand to be? ## Walgreens called me after two weeks of waiting for my script to get filled saying that my script is fil...

I obtained these and when I opened the capsule, it was powdery like ....similar to sawdust with slight orange and white coloration, not the beads like I expected. I'm assuming they've been tampered with???? ## Hello, I recently was put on adderall XR 10mg (generic). The manufacture is TEVA. This stuff is NOT amphetamine or dextroamphetamine. Anyone else with the same problem??? Which manufacture for generic Adderall XR 10mg is the best?? What Pharmacy has the best generic Adderall XR 10mg??? CVS, Walgreens etc. Rite aid sells teva and it sucks. ## My question to both of you is what are the markings on them? That is what would enable me to check for you to see what they contain. As listed by the FDA, Adderall is a stimulant that's most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolep...

Hi All, I have been having the hardest time finding a pharmacy in Southwest Florida that carries Adderall and its generic. I am currently taking 15mg 3x a day (45mg). My doctor just put in a script for a 3 month supply, to be filling monthly. Walgreens calls me and says they have a new policy stating that because my doctor is over 50 miles away (Tampa area) they can't fill it and the max dosage is 40mg. I'm BAFFLED. First of all, people take up to 60mg a day of Adderall... and now I am on a goose hunt trying to find a pharmacy that is in stock or will even tell me over the phone. I just tried a WinnDixie and am hoping for the best.... Is anyone else in the Southwest Florida area having similar problems? ## Because of the shortage a lot of pharmacies in New England aren’t f...

No insurance and they are charging me 301.. ## Depending on the dose the price per pill may vary. Generics are another way of cutting costs. Shire has programs if you qualify. Good luck ## Anyone can use Rx coupons.. I get 120 30 mg mixed amphetamine salts, the orange Teva with a coupon is 83.63 at walgreens. ## Hi kassie, there are rx coupons available for generic Adderall. For example, this site offers a free Rx Discount Card which you can bring to your pharmacy when you refill your script. It can typically save you 20% or more, is reusable, and doesn't expire. Hope this helps! ## Kassie, Walgreens has A discount card they can use for You. My state Ct made us have to get insurance a few yrs ago an depending on your age U can get help - I truly hope you have a Walgreens where ever ...

My internal Dr. retired and I am having a BIG problem finding another Dr. who will fill Adderall for my ADD for me. Does anyone from the Rockford area know of any Drs in this area? I have been taking this for 11 years and I really need it to cope. I have called several Drs. and ask the office if they know if this DR. prescribed this and they will say yes, then when I go to the appt, they won't prescribe them. Please help if you know of anyone ?? Thank you so much for reading this. ## Ok.... all you have to do is get your records from an insurance company. I am close to where u live. You have to prove you have been prescribed for so long, by printing out your rx records on walgreens.com and they have to keep u on your medicine or call your insurance company. ## I wish it was that eas...

I normally get my perscription for my Adderall 20mg Tab filled at Walgreens. They said the warehouse sends them whatever they choose (Barr or Teva) which I am allergic to. I have ADD and my mind just is racing as I have been without my medicine, I have tried those other brands and immediaetly hives break out and massive headache. How can I find a solution to this? I dont know why us patients have to be caught up and or dictated to whatever a warehouse chooses. ## I've also suffered odd reactions to some medications, so I understand what you're going through. It really sucks. However, you aren't actually stuck with what their warehouse dictates, because you do have the option of going to a different pharmacy. You don't have to use Walgreens. I know it may not be as conven...

A friend of mine went to Walgreens this month and got Mallinckrodt generic 30mg XR's. The imprint is M 8956. They look like that garbage CVS generic with a clear bottom. I have to fill my script tomorrow and I plan on asking what they have before I fill it. I suggest everyone else does the same. ## I'm new and just got my 3rd XR script filled today and immediately noticed the beads inside the capsule were white and not orange, and found they were made by Mallinkrodt. I haven't tried them yet but would the Walgreens Pharmacy exchange for a new script by a different manufacturer? Not looking forward to a whole month of something with so much negative feedback.. ## They won't exchange it. Once it goes over the counter that's it. ## Did it end up working? ## I just had m...

I'm going on vacation to Fort Myers, Florida and need to fill my prescription for Adderall. Where can I get it filled? ## Can I fill my prescription of adderall in another state? My script was filled by a licensed shrink in Mississippi. Now I need to fill it in Massachusetts. Walgreens has been my pharmacy for years, so I’m on record.

I'm going to my doctor Tomorrow to tell him I can't get my adderall 20mg filled anywhere in our are. I have called every day pharmacy within 20 miles, I'm told good luck. I don't know what he will give me and I don't really know what to except.. any FEEDBACK would have great. I have taken vyvanse for a short time a while back the only reason I stopped is my co-pay on insurance was high..oh I'm not sure but I'm calling Walgreens Tomorrow to see if they have 10mg or 30mg..a week ago I was told only one pharmacy did have the 10s they said it was basically all the adderall ir.. thanks for you time.. I just don't know much about the ADHD medications ## Do you take the extended release or IR? I’ve been taking the 20mg IR for several years and found Walgre...

Hello, I've been taking TEVA for the past 9 years since it's the only one that has had any benefit since CorePharma has been unavailable. Zydus doesn't work and Barr never worked. What's the most effective manufacturer these days and which retailers make it available? I've been taking 30mg IR generic Adderall. Thanks in advance. ## Yes I miss CorePharma, they were a great generic. Teva USED to be good but my most recent two fills have been Teva and this is ridiculously poor quality… I’ve fallen asleep multiple times during the day. There are also many bad reviews online for the last few months about Teva. It seems like a sudden dramatic drop for them. Sugar pill? What happened, Teva?!!!!.. Prior to this, I liked Lannett but now Walgreens doesn’t hav...

I've been taking brand-name Adderall for years (10mg XR) without trouble. My last script was delayed due to an "insurance issue" according to my text. The pharmacist @ Walgreens looked into when I called & said, "No problem, your insurance covers the generic now". The peculiar wording didn't occur to me initially until I've literally been vomiting-or so nauseous I wish I would-for 24 hours now! The effect doesn't seem nearly as effective either. ## Hello SmileyAnj, I'm really sorry to hear that the brand you're currently taking is making you ill. I can't tell you specifically why this brand makes you sick while another does not, what I can give you is some information to help you find out what to do next.

Has anyone had any issues with aurobindo causing chronic pain, this all started when I was taking vyvanse 2 years ago then switching to aurobindo, I had lower back pain numbness, but when I stopped taking my adhd meds the pain went away. I am being switched to Sandoz medication 10mg tomorrow, can someone give me any reference to this type of generic? ## YES!!!! Doesn't work like Teva. Been on this med most my life! Started using pharmacy at Dr office and they use Aurobindo. Started having extreme back pain, leg pain, foot pain all right side. Migraines, falling asleep. I quit taking for 30 days. All symptoms stopped. I am going to speak to my dr. I would stay away from it at all costs. Walgreens still uses Teva. i have used them forever and am going back. Good luck. .God Bless. Plea...

Adderall 20mg ir teva brand/VS/Lannett pharmaceuticals. Today, Walgreens filled my refill with a different brand instead of my usual teva they gave me a brand i never heard of before Lannett pharmaceuticals it says. They are the same shape and size but the color is a lighter shade of peach AND the sweet taste is chalky instead!...not happy. The imprint is 2/0(e). Since it's later in the day I only took one 20mg ir.two hours ago and zip..so far..granted i woke up a little bit so that's a plus..does anyone else have an opinion on this newer generic version of adderall? Oh the price was cheaper the cost for 60 20mg tablets was $20+ change..I'd rather pay for the teva which usually costs me about $34 for the same that's my cost with insurance. ## I also received these exact ...

I am in Los Angeles on business and ran out of my Adderall XR 20mg. My doctor in DC sent me a script but no one will fill it due to a new CA law. I need a doctor in Los Angeles to write a new script so I can fill it. I am now out and need it as soon as possible. I have the current out of state script and the DC doctor to prove my history. Please help! ## What new law? I live in L.A.- can your doctor call it in? Or usually if u are a longstanding user, your pharmacy (if it has a location here where you are ex: CVS, WALGREENS) will give you the supplemental supply. Usually a 2-day supply. ## Nope you cant have it called in. Its a Level 2 Controlled Substance. They won't get confirmation from my doctor. It apparently has to come from a California doctor.

I hope so .ASAP. Thank You ## Yes, it is the same drug, just made by a different manufacturer. Once a drug is available for generic production, it is quite often made by many different companies and each one, according to law, must have a different marking to enable an accurate identification of the dosage and manufacturer in case of an emergency. In addition most pharmacies generally carry whatever generic they can get cheapest from their suppliers, so sometimes ...

Found a clear capsule, filled with a tan/light brown thick powder.. smells like black liquorice.. there are no markings to identify..a friend told me it was Adderall 30mg & it came from Walgreens... Can someone please tell me what it is? ## My thoughts are, if this really was a genuine 30mg Adderall capsule from Walgreens, it would be required by law to bear markings or an imprint of some kind. The FDA mandates this for all prescription drugs. So my personal opinion is that whom ever you received this capsule from saying it's a product of Walgreens is not an honest person at all and should not be trusted in the very least. The reality is that this capsule could contain virtually anything from A to Z. Because there is no adequate way to identify it outside of a lab analysis (whic...
