Love A.D.D.erall

At 21 they diagnosed me with AD/HD & gave me smart pills. My grades shot up & my future brightened & some said I was better. But I am numb inside of this drug. People I love become distant strangers sometimes, so proud of me for victories I didn’t earn. How do I tell them I am not what I do or have done. I’ll never be happy on this drug, but I’ll never be successful without it. If only I could Love Adderall.

I am prescribed Adderall 20 mg, three times a day and my fiance, mark is presribed 30 mg, three times a day. We had always gotten the oval orange “Barr” brand. Recently, it seems that we can not find these anywhere anymore. Everyone has the “pink” round scored tabs that don’t work. All they did for me was increasy my B/P and pulse rate and make me break out in a rash and itch. Of course I was awake…scratching myself to death, but focused?, only on scratching myself raw! So, bottom line…what can we do, where can we write and more importantly short term, where can I fill our prescriptions with the Barr brand?

I get my barr orange 30 mg ir at Walmart. If you are not insured, make sure to ask for their discount card program. They quoted me $35 for 60 pills, but the price was only $20 and a few cents.

I have asked pharmacies to order something just for me and they have. It wasn’t adderall, but it was a SII medication. They did it both times and places.

One pharmacist even made a remark about the me switching to a lower dose. My doctor had called them to order the lower dose. When I arrived, the pharmacist said something about “no way to get rid of the extra pills.” As if I should have been rx’ed every one of them before my dose was lowered.

I can’t remember the name of that pharmacy now, but the other one was Rite-Aid. You might check with a hospital pharmacy too. I’ve found that if you show up in person and allow them to see you, explain the situation simply, then they are much more willing to comply with requests.

Walmart is not very friendly, but they are grossly understaffed in my area. My usual pharmacist explained to me that they also have the police there at least once a week for people attempting illegal activity. So, I can understand where the unfriendliness comes from. Here, people heard through that line like cattle all day and night. It’s the only true discounted place around.

try costco, they have the cheapest prices (I love walmart but for some reason my adderall is twice as much there) I get 15 mg regular release B77 and it seems to be fine.

you don’t have to be a costco member if you pay cash!
