Adderall Backorder (Page 58)

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?

My walgreens actually got a generic shipment today so hopefully that is going to be a trend for other locations. Only problem with trying CVS, etc is that with controlled substance i believe you have to get a new script called in, it cant be transferred. With CHR in my area that can take days.

This was 1 particular pharmacist that works the overnight shift in my local 24 hour location. I assume he deals with a lot of addicts as we had a ton of assisted living houses built here and then our previous governor cut all the funding for them leaving a huge population of severe mental health and addiction patients back on the streets. While it doesnt excuse how rude he always was to me, i didnt want to trash the whole pharmacy for 1 person's attitude. My real problem is lax attitude of CHR, my top rate insurance and the lack of communication between them and walgreens and then 0 communication to me. Everyone points the finger and nobody seems to be concerned with solving the issues.

New prescriptions are required for all Schedule II drugs. Schedule II can only be faxed to a pharmacy. They cannot be called in
Actually there is a federal and state provision in each state for emergency prescriptions being called in and they have to be followed up with a written prescription within a day or so. But I do not see any doctor doing that with Adderall or similar drugs

Do you know which brand they got? It would be helpful to know what brands are being distributed and manufactured, as they tend to dominate the market. Also, please, which pharmacy said they could get Teva? hat's really helpful information because brand availability literally varies by supplier, i.e. McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Health.

Not my experience and I find the whole idea repugnant. Is it an opinion? Which is totally cool. Or is this actual policy based on "inside info? "
When I read it, it comes off presumptive, tbh. I simply have not experienced this type of ageism.

I legit called TevaPharm and they said all Adderall was available and definitely not on back order. This was 6/28/2022 and they told me to check other pharmacies. But every pharmacy only has Lanette, Sandoz, Auro, Camber. I feel so helpless.

I was told I would not be able to get Adderall at any Walgreens as it has been on back order for nearly a month (Teva). Rite Aid has it but the generic they carry doesn't agree with me. SE Michigan reporting.

Lucky, I wish I could have gotten Teva… I’m stuck with Sandoz this month it looks like… I wish it were different.

I work for Teva Pharm and can confirm Adderall is not on back order. Large shipment made to ABC (AmerisourceBergen) on 6/28 who are the wholesaler for Walgreens. Orders are shipped to ABC's main DC (Distribution Center) in Ohio then redistributed across the country to there other DCs. Hopefully next couple days the orders get moved from ABC to Walgreens.

Walgreens is now pushing another generic adderall (not Teva) and just like CVS they are garbage.

Re: JR (# 1149) Expand Referenced Message

Thank you so much for this info! People that really need this medication are suffering. I hate to have my doctor take his order back from walgreens and put it in another pharmacy on a Friday and still get nothing. Im debating if I should just leave my script at walgreens today and just hope they get a delivery soon.

I only take Teva brand because of the feeling of anger I get with the other generics dextroamphetamine. I had problems for months getting the prescription for my son filled and he used CVS pharmacy. The kept telling us they were on back order. I get mine from a small pharmacy that had until this month gotten mine filled and then I had him tell his doctor to send to my pharmacy. One month they got his then they couldn't and now they cant get mine either and say they don't know when they will. I wonder if this is true or there is some other reason they don't want to give us that brand. They gave my son his made by Camber Pharmaceuticals. I have take one and they don't seem to do anything to me. I am in limbo wonder what next. I am almost 65 years old and have been diagnosed since my sons were in grade school and the oldest is 38 . I really need this medication to function. Any information on the inability to get Teva Brand would be appreciated.

Be sure you find a Medicare Part D Plan that includes the Adderall you are prescribed. Some of them do and some do not.

What mg do you take? I couldn’t get mine filled this month either. I was told by a local small pharmacy that the 20mg is what is on back order but that if the doctor writes the script for 10mgs, they can then fill it. Ex. I take 20mg twice per day so they wrote me a script for 10mg, 2 tab, 2x per day. I had to call 10 different pharmacies before I even got this information.

I take 20 mg, but my son takes 30 mg. They both were unavailable. He took a generic made by Camber pharmaceuticals I don't think they work very well and his are higher dose than mine. I had hoped to get the information from the company but they referred me back here.
