If you do have ADHD and feel you need help, there are non-scheduled pharmaceuticals available as well. My daughter is on Qelbree which isn't perfect, but it works pretty well. And you don't have to worry about people abusing it making the supply run out.
Those don't work for everyone. Me, for example.
No medication works for everyone.
Thanks! My husband has been talking about getting back on Adderall for his ADHD, but he doesn't really want to go through all the hassle. I'll tell him about this.
I don’t know if the same thing is happening with the XR but if the IR worked for your husband it might be a good alternative. I recommend Vyvance, it was recently approved for generic. Still a bit pricy but it’s longer acting with less of the unbearable side effects.
Vyvanse is also having a shortage, caused in part by people not being able to get Adderall switching over. It's not as bad as it was a few months ago (we called around and couldn't find a pharmacy with a 30 day supply within a 2 hour radius) but they're still having trouble getting enough, especially at the higher doses. Source: I literally talked to a pharmacist about this today when I went to pick up my other random-ass stimulant. My doctor told me to just keep asking them about it every month haha.
Not even generic?
Yep
I'll mention this to him as well.
Now to convince him to go to the doctor...
Oh yeah, initial intake is tough not to mention finding a doc
We both used to see the same doctor, but she retired, and ever since then neither one of us wants to go lol
I don’t want to discount Vyvanse at all because it has a lot of advantages but it made me extremely paranoid and even more impulsive than I usually am
