We had to buy the name brand out of pocket. It is typically $400-ish but if you use the Good Rx coupon (https://www.goodrx.com/) it is about $80. More painful than the $10 for generic, but going without is not an option.


Disregard. That GoodRx was for generic...thought it was too good to be true.

There's actually a very serious shortage of cancer drugs, especially generics.

Absolutely true. The drug shortage for chemo drugs is scary. I was just stating than when that happens it gets more attention and more action.

Thank you for doing this. I will be doing the same later this week.

Pharmacist shared that ADHD med prices are about to increase, a lot. Companies are hoarding supplies, for a release with the price increase. If it's true, I just wish they do it already - this is so effing nuts!

Oh no! What are you doing instead? Did they offer the brand? DD can’t safely operate in the world without her medicine. Adderall was a disaster. DD does best on brand concerta which they refuse to cover but perhaps they will allow under the circumstances.

Seems the name brand should be avail - that is what i got for us as CVS's supplier had no generics. Seems sun pharmaceutical generic is also avail, but not sure where to find it.

We got it from Express Scripts without issue but it’s a 90 day script so it was last filled late Sept. I hope they have it to fill the latest the doctor just submitted.

The pentagon CVS seemed to have a pretty good assortment last week but not in doses that worked for us. Not sure if you need a pentagon badge to get to the CVS so that may not be helpful.

Nope and I'm trying to get brand name. We've mail ordered for years and now can't get anything. It's infuriating.

Has anyone had success finding Vyvanse generic in 20 or 40 mgs? We’re on an endless cycle of pharmacies telling us they don’t have it. Would also pay for name brand out of pocket at this point.
