My pharmacy is out of vyvanse. How do I found out if other pharmacies have it in stock? Is there a website that I can check? Do I just call around? If a pharmacy does have it, how can I ask them to hold it? do I have to wait for my doctors office to send them my prescription?

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?”

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
