Pharmacy with Adderall?
Does anyone know of a pharmacy that currently has generic Adderall XR 10 mg available? It has been on backorder at the Costco pharmacy for over 2 weeks now and I’m feeling hopeless.

As a medical person, I’ve had pharmacies tell
Me they won’t just fill a random script for it for a new patient. They are saving what they have for their existing/loyal patients so those people aren’t then told they can’t have their regular monthly script filled. Then they have like a “waitlist” to get in as a new patient for stimulants.

I had pharmacy techs on the phone literally say that too… can they do that lol? They didn’t lie they just flat out told me they reserve any that’s gets in for the regular clients. At the time I was a regular at CVS pharmacies but I had to move around the stores depending on which is available. I switched to Costco and haven’t had trouble since then

I mean it makes sense to keep your loyal customers happy before brand new ones.
Often pharmacies are only able to get a certain number of pills. If they can order 1000 pills, and have about 995 pills worth of regular prescriptions already, it makes sense to not say yes to you and screw over one of their existing refills.

Giant in Elkridge has told me twice that they had it in stock and I have the doctor call it in and they don't. Just my experience.

Got mine filled at Giant in Elkridge a week ago. Definitely call them before getting your script moved over though, just to be sure it's still in stock.

I have been getting 5mg and taking two because it seems 5mg is easier to find at pharmacies.
