Adderall Shortage
(lemmy.world)
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.
Try Vyvanse. Same manufacturer longer lasting
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.
Had to go a month without adderall (fuck you april) so my doc switched me to vyvanse. With insurance it was $78 but after the manufacturer coupon it was $0
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
