Try to find an online pharmacy that has shipping. You can also call the manufacturer help line, they may be able to point you in the right direction

Thank you!

No problem, good luck! I hope it helps

I'm from Eastern PA, and I had the same problem with armodafinil. It is a manufacturing issue. The drugstores can't get it from their distributors because they can't get it. I had to go into NJ to get mine, no one near me had it either. Good luck! Maybe you'll have to check in nearby NY or Ohio...

Thank you…. I may have to go that route as well if my doctor is okay with calling an out of state pharmacy. This has been a nightmare and is starting to effect my everyday activities just like before i was diagnosed and found the right medication.

Every pharmacy in the country is having this problem for the last year.

This can sometimes get tricky with controlled substances.

Idk but I've always wanted to try that stuff

So, I'm in NY but the shortage is nationwide. My family doctor has had to change our dosage/delivery speed depending on what was available in our area. My daughter's psych meds have started to be affected as well.

I've had to use different pharmacies from time to time. I use a private pharmacy so they are willing and able to help us with around the shortage one way or another. I've considered using Amazon Pharmacy but I haven't tried it yet.

Prescription shortages can be so dangerous. It's scary.

Good luck to you.

These are the things that keep me up at night.

Ask your insurance carrier if they have mail options.

Yes theres a national shortage

Yeah thats not gonna work, the manufacturers cant keep up with orders. National shortage from the manufacturer. Also with controlled substances you cant continously go to different pharmacies.

I have had zero issues getting the extended release version of Adderall.

I easily got my Vyvanse filled at CVS the same day. It wasn’t a problem.

Had to change diabetic meds because the one I was on was in manufacturing back order. Thankfully the new one works better and is similar style med

Nationwide shortage

Your one of the lucky ones then

I guess? FDA has yet to report a shortage of the XR formulations. It’s only been the instant release officially declared a shortage.

You either need a paper script or talk call other stores inside the chain where your script already is.

Yep, my friend has been complaining about it for at least six months now

Been getting our stuff shipped from Pittsburgh childrens hospital. Usually they don’t have many issues getting things

This. My child had to go on an alternative medication because no pharmacy has her regular ADHD meds. I’m in NEPA and it’s a problem everywhere.

Vyvanse isn't part of the nationwide shortage for now. It's mostly Adderall, the other meds are only seeing issues here and there due to patients being switched to the others.

My partner had to switch from the XR to immediate release with less than stellar results because nobody had any.

Yea that would make for a shitty experience. It’s a bad time to switch in that direction for sure.

Ah ok. Makes sense. I didn’t know which one OP was referencing.

Yeah for me the XR is the hard one to get my 10mg IR is always in stock

I have 3 sons on Adderall XR, and it’s been a problem. CVS couldn’t get it, but our local mom and pop pharmacy (which I like better, our insurance made us switch to CVS) had it. My oldest got switched to Vyvanse.

I'm on Ritalin. I haven't had any issues getting it through CVS or the Geisinger mail-order pharmacy

The federal government limits production of these drugs, and is not increasing the limits as more prescriptions are written. https://reason.com/2023/03/14/wheres-your-adderall/

I'm in Memphis and haven't been able to get my adderall for almost a year. I'm a 42 year old college student. My grades have definitely suffered.

Blame all the people who fake ADHD to get a script.

Issue across the country. Being blamed on easy access thru tele-health.

A big reason there isn’t vyvanse issues is because it’s still under patent and only brand name so it’s much more expensive so people avoid it if they can.

But I think the patent expires this year

I haven't tried it yet, but I've read good things about using a hospital pharmacy.

Try an independent pharmacy. If you're close to Erie, I recommend Union City Pharmacy

I’m in Pittsburgh and had to get name brand XR adderall to get my script filled last week. It cost me $90 versus my usual like $11, but not a single rite aid in my area had the generic.

Was it Lantus? My SO can't get his Lantus anywhere and I am getting so concerned because he is on the verge of running out. His doctor has not returned his messages to discuss an alternative.

No mine was trulicity. I ran out and went three weeks before getting victoza. Thankfully I had a secondary med to kind of help balance out for that time.

Thanks. The pharmacy blamed the shortage on "celebrities using diabetic meds for weight loss" but his medication isn't what they are using for that so it much be something else going on.

The chain I dealt with was cvs. They are the ones that helped me find.

I asked my doctor about the shortage as I was worried about it since I am on the generic Adderall and my one friend who has been on concerta for 2 years had to switch to vyvanse because of the shortage. My doctor said he would rather help me try to go through every pharmacy in the area before switching me to something else. Maybe contact your doctor to see if they have some type of contact info at other pharmacies in your area? He also said if it did happen, he would try to switch me to a lesser prescribed dose, like if 15 mg is super popular and hard to find for some reason, he’d change my dose to something else and I could split it or take an extra or something.
