I count 13 generic manufacturers: search lisdexamfetamine on https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/ob/search_product.cfm

I have only heard good things about Vyvanse. But I don't know as many people who have tried it because it's been expensive for many people. I'm hoping these approved generics get to market fast! I've been struggling without my Adderall XR - the shortage finally caught up to me.

I have heard of this shortage, it sounds awful! Did it only affect adderall, or ALL the adhd meds?

Recently the shortage has affected me and my Vyvanse prescription. It has been very anxiety provoking and makes me nervous every time my doctor has to call in a refill.

That’s just… so ironic and messed up :( I’m sorry you have to go through that!

I got prescribed generic Focalin for the first time a couple weeks ago. It took 7 days, 6 different pharmacy calls, and 3 prescription transfers to finally get it filled. My psychiatrist warned me about this when he prescribed it, saying there were nationwide shortages of almost all ADHD drugs.

Going through this monthly is going to suck.
