Medication on Backorder

Submitted by throwaway_dafood69 t3_11dq2q5 in Connecticut

I understand there has been an Adderall shortage, but has anyone had any luck at all getting a 30 day supply of - Adderall 30mg XR?

My therapist wants me to call places to see if it’s in stock before switching me over to a new medication. A few places I’ve called already dont have it.

Thanks in advance!

nope. And the problem is if you call and they tell you it's available, and your doctor doesn't send the script that same day. Or even that same minute. They'll be sold out . And your back to square 1

No pharmacy will tell you over the phone what their inventory on any controlled medication is. This is a liability issue.

some will, they wont tell you how many pills of each dose is on hand.And no is is asking them that. But they can and do sometimes tell you what they have available so you can drive down and get with a prescription.

Its a controlled medication but its not cocaine being sold in dark alleys. These are family drug stores open during the daytime most in commercial shopping centers lol

Any that do at this point are just opening up themselves to be robbed.

Go and ask in /r/pharmacy and you'll see.

Call as many pharmacies as you can. Adderall IR is available. Also most insurances don’t cover name brand, but will if your prescriber fills out paperwork saying alternatives aren’t available

The ADHD medication shortage is getting worse. What went wrong?

Well everyone has ADHD now so this is what happens.

"Meanwhile, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which controls the supply of the drugs, announced last month that it would not increase manufacturing quotas for 2023, despite the shortage – again, without providing a reason."

The DEA could fix this tomorrow. They chose to unleash this suffering.

That's really inappropriate to post here where people are asking about their RX meds for a diagnosed condition. Check yourself and ask why you would bring that disrespect to a very respectful post

Not everyone taking them is addicted to them. Dont project yourself/your experience with it onto other people. Take your unwanted, irrelevant comment elsewhere, thank you. 🙂
