Additional Posts in Lawyers with ADHD
Everything always takes me so long to do :/
I’m not sure how this will impact this bowl, but it is worth pointing out the need to assess whether there should be concern for those in this bowl. While we all understand ADHD is something attorneys are completely capable of managing with legal positions, not everyone in the field agrees with that. https://joinfishbowl.com/post_va66ztgmkw

My local Brooklyn pharmacy told me “if cvs doesn’t have it, there’s no way we’ll have it.” Has anyone found a workaround in terms of having your doctor call in a chewable version or ensuring they specify brand name versus generic? It seems like the shortage is hitting the generic harder?

This works, I usually start with 5 pharmacies at a time but have been able to find one that consistently has my Rx (not Vyvanse, but another that was constantly out of stock)
You have to call each pharmacy individually to check if they have it. Once you find a pharmacy who has it in stock, you have to have your doctor send your script over immediately as the pharmacy will fill orders on a first come first serve basis. I have not found any pharmacies that are willing to “hold” medication before they actually have a copy of the prescription they are filling.
Good luck. And hopefully you will have competent staff on the line when you call…way too often I’ll ask if they have Vyvanse in stock and they’ll ask “…you mean Adderall?”
I was just told by my doctor that major chains in nyc are totally out, and the best way to go is call the neighborhoodiest pharmacies you can find or try to pick up outside the city if you’re going upstate anytime soon
Good luck. I just stopped taking mine and my 12 year old has been making it through on adderall XR and regular adderall. It’s terrible for her and making her tearful and disruptive (straight A go getter like I’m sure we all were too). It’s actually hell. And, no offense, holding meds for a grown adult with full coping mechanisms is weird. It’s first come first served. Good luck, we all need it right now. The world does not care about med shortages. I create rewards for billables for myself and create dopamine where I can find it.
This is an offensive post.
Putting “no offense” doesn’t make the sentence any less offensive.
For example, “No offense, but it’s pretty irresponsible for someone to bring a child into this world with the current environmental crisis the planet is in.”
Bet you didn’t like that snarky statement, did you? Keep the snark to yourself. Unless you are a psychiatrist and diagnosed the OP, don’t shame people for med use
Call local pharmacies vs CVS etc
Thank you to everyone on this thread, especially those that suggested trying a local pharmacy. I called the pharmacy at a community health center and they had it.
Yes! Glad you found it! My doctor told me that CVS uses only one supplier… Which is owned by CVS. The smaller pharmacies tend to use multiple suppliers.
