Adderall Backorder (Page 94) (Top voted first)

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?

Thanks for the insight! That does make sense that it affects the big cities. My pharmacy usually gets in Alvogen and Epic Pharma although it seems to change every time I pick up my prescription (when it's available).

Me neither. Last month, i called with my 20mg x 3 IR 90ct and 30 x 2 IR 60ct scripts. They had both of them in at the same time. I was so happy.

Oh before you guys go crazy, I don't take 120 mgs a day. If my normal 30mg x 2 aren't in, i had a fall back for 20mg x 3. I would only fill one and never early. I had normally been getting the Epic Pharma ones which didn't really work well and took a long time to work. This last time they were Sandoz which seemed to work a little better than the Epics.

So I have been having luck since august with getting mine and this month I asked my pharmacist if they had any trouble getting a supply lately and she said absolutely not. I hope it stays like this but with the new year being next month we can only hope! Sometimes my pharmacist will hold what I need to make sure I can get my script but they won’t hold anything longer than about 5 days which is fine by me! Only been able to get the epic pharmacy 20mg ir for the past few months and I’ve noticed that sometimes I don’t feel them as well as other days but I have to take drug panels for my doctor and I always have amphetamines in my system so I’m grateful for what I’m able to get.

Re: Ryelee83 (# 1936)

I've had to switch to an alternative for the foreseeable future. In N. Florida. locally they're still out regularly. I know someone on 20mg ir also in N. FL and they've been getting them intermittently. Usually it's about a one to two week wait from the Walgreens they use everytime they're due for refill. I can't function like that bc I've been on meds for years and need consistency.

It's been addressed recently by a couple congress ppl and one senator. The DEA has stated the manufacturers aren't using their supply of raw materials and they nor the FDA can force pharmaceutical companies to make more. In my opinion, it's going to take legislative change before this gets resolved.

I take methylphenidate, generic Ritalin, and my Walgreens in Boynton beach says it’s in back order. I’ve been waiting more than a week and the same thing happened last month. It’s making me very depressed. ??

Yeah, I'd love to try out Dexedrine, but that seemed even more scarce when I was considering it. Agree on sandoz being the best

There must be no one else in your area taking it. You are extremely fortunate. Take your blessing and realize there are others of us who haven't been able to get adderall in over a year.

30mg IR STILL on backorder in MA for almost 3 months. Every month is such an ordeal to get prescriptions filled. It's exhausting, to say the least

Yeah I haven't had ir available here in a few months either. Luckily, but Dr has been willing to replace them with XR, which are regularly available, but they just aren't the same.

Re: Scott (# 1955)

Yes, indeed. I had a bad allergic reaction to Auerobindo (sp?) and found out via the difficult route when they substituted it for my regular Teva. I wasn't aware that they did this or I would have a negative reaction. All my other meds have been filled with other generic alternatives and I have had no problems. In addition, I also didn't even think twice before taking them as they looked so much the same. Lesson learned the hard way.

Have you tried Provigil? Just a suggestion.

Try Costco and use the goodrx app or their site for their coupon for a greatly reduced price. Often beats insurance.

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....

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 :

Did you try addieup yet? That is the alternative for adderall that works as well, in a different way, as the real thing.

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.
