Adderall Backorder (Page 93) (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?

Hi Ken. Just thgt I would share my thgts with you.

When I was working a job that repeatedly overworked me at points, I would frequently do exactly as you described. Im talking like-working 4am to 5pm 4 days in a row with sometimes 2-4 travel drive time exhaustion. I would try to take 15mg adderall IR about an hour before I had to wake up and leave. Sometimes 30mg. Had it not been for my spouse or my cat waking me up eventually I could very easily sleep through 10 alarms in a row out of pure exhaustion. Meds or not. Not sure if that's similar to your situation but just wanted to share that.

Needless to say I no longer work there(and I did that for like, 10/hr LOL.) No job is worth your health. Take care. (:

Yea. I saw my doctor 3 weeks ago. I had a prescription left over for the 30 IRs. I was able to get 20 out of 60 IRs. I told them to go ahead anc do the partial refill. I told her that i got 20 30mg IRs and asked her to call in 80 15mg because they apparently had.a ton of then. She called in 120 15mg IRs. I was surprised because she wont give me over 60 mgs a day. I am hoping to get 30s next time unless she called in 15s. I had asked her to call in 30s for the other 2 months. The Walmart has Epic Pharm adderalls which really dont seem to work well. Still no Tevas.

This is about opiates but Teva also makes Adderall. There are a number of drugs Teva makes that are impacted.

Nobody has posted here in a while. I searched, and it still said shortage was still happening. I called pharmacy, and they actually had 30 mg IRs in stock.

Walgreens and Dade County - I'm in Miami Beach. I'll try to call other pharmacies tomorrow since I'm running short of pills.

Re: Rob (# 1910)

I’ve had excellent luck with Wallgreens up in New Hampshire through the whole shortage last year. In December they gave me some weird epic brand that was pretty awful, but they’ve had a Teva again for months.

Also CVS mail away had some through the whole shortage last year they were just kind of weak but better than nothing.

Personally, Ive found the supply in my area to be pretty good in the last couple months. Had some trouble finding 30 mg up until last month (doc had to write x90 10mg instead), but the pharmacies I tried all seemed to have the lower dosages in good supply. And last month I found my 30 mg tablets first-try.

Don't know if I'm just lucky but I figured with how dead this thread has been that things are actually improving.

Are you finding that more doseages are available or more stores have items have them in stock on a regular basis?

Re: foster772 (# 1920)

Out of curiosity, why do you say that?

I know nothing about Northstar, and while Teva is a good brand, I personally prefer Sandoz so there could conceivably be other generics out there too that are better.

There is simply no way anyone could make a statement of fact about drug quality and/or efficacy when it's a prediction. It's simply not possible. But his/her opinion is totally valid, despite it being speculation. Remember, Teva had a massive recall years back. Anything can happen.

Have you had issues yourself of late, Rmca?

Yes, please let us know how it goes on Monday. School starting back up makes sense. I asked about other dosages and they said they haven't been getting in any at all. They said they are having the same issue with Vyvanse. Very frustrating. The last couple of months had me hopeful things were getting better.

Fwiw, I spoke to my sister who who happens to be a psychiatrist (she's not my mine because, well, family). She said that from what she can gather from her ADHD patients (many of whom primarily meet with her remotely), the major area of trouble seems to be cities at this time (NYC in particular, she said). She also said that it may depend on the specific supply of the brand your pharmacies typically gets (which is usually in part area dependent). As LA is another monster city, that may be the cause of your issue, although I'm curious what brand you usually get in your area? You might try pharmacies in less populated areas, if that is an option for you.

In any case I will definitely follow up on Monday... I'm located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, but not too close to the city.

Re: Rcma (# 1925)

Yep, can't believe it but capitalism trumps again. The pharmaceutical companies don't make as much money from generic adderall. So they simply haven't been making it. Combined with the increase in patients taking it, equals ongoing shortage.

I've pretty much given up on returning to my previous adderall treatment schedule. At least for the rest of the year. After taking it for 15 years it's simply not available anymore.
