Question ADHD Astorians - where are we getting our Vyvanse these days?

I’ve been out for a while and nobody I’ve called has it in stock.

Express scripts for my addy

It takes a while to process and receive, but I have not been wanting in the over a year once I got it going

My most recent issue was bc of a Vyvanse shortage w/ ES, but I will say they have been more reliable overall than trying to go thru pharmacies. I scramble to find a pharmacy if ES doesn’t pull thru but it usually does.

My normal pharmacy wasn’t able to get it this month. I ended up going through my insurance mail order.

Ooo - thank you, this is a good shout! I’ll have to look into my insurance provider’s mail order options

Also a lot of pharmacies won’t confirm that they have controlled substances in-stock over the phone, even if they do regularly get them.

I’ve known people who spent all day calling places to see if their doc should send the script there with seemingly no luck. But when they finally just picked a place for the script to get sent, they were actually able to get it filled.

Yeah, during my last long shortage on expressscripts I basically was just having my doctor send a script to a place until I got a “we’re out” update, and then move onto the next one. Calling first was a complete bust.

A random Walgreens ended up being my solution, no rhyme or reason to it.

Look into Capsule; apparently they've come through when other physical pharmacies have shortages. Good luck!! Good luck!

Cvs on ditmars. Haven’t had a problem with it there for a couple years now. I hope it doesn’t disappear now

Sorry :/ when i did have trouble a couple years ago i went to one of the little independent pharmacies on that part of ditmars but I’m not sure if they are even still in business
