For those of you in the US, how's the Adderall shortage going? I'm going to ask my psych to switch over to it because my insurance is driving the price of Focalin through the roof. I want to get an idea if its even feasible right now.

I can’t believe this is a thing. China pumps out chemicals like nobody’s business.

DEA is to blame we have the capability to produce

DEA is so useless that massively needs an overhaul.

Oh it is going! I have just stayed on the focalin. It is 1K a month but worth it imo. Cleanest speed i have ever done. Adderall gives me the jitters and heart flutters. Not focalin though.

Try Vyvanse. Same manufacturer longer lasting

At my last appointment my Dr. asked if I wanted to switch back to Adderall since it seems to be more available now and Vyvanse has been spendy. I have other reasons to hold off for a bit, but it was nice to hear that maybe the shortage situation is improving!

Bay area, one of my co workers can't get any of her addy, apparently none of the pharmacies stock it right now. Vyvanse seems to be unaffected so far, but my doctor does not expect that to last.

I had to call 4 pharmacies to fill my vyvanse last time. And the pharmacy that had it only had a single months supply left.

So it's starting to be a problem I think
