Storygirl Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 https://www.npr.org/2022/10/14/1129000615/the-fda-declares-a-shortage-of-adderall This is important news for families who need ADHD medications. We don't use Adderall here, but I'm wondering if the shortage will flow over into other types of medication, as people who normally use Adderall have to consider switching to other types. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Yeah, it's bad. We finally found Adderall for DH the day before he left on a 7 day conference event. Him having to try to navigate a big work event like that, where he is presenting a few days, is MCing other days, doing set up, etc plus navigating a different city, hotels, etc WHILE in withdrawal from ADHD meds would have been a nightmare. For a few days before he was taking my Vyvanse, until we located a place that got some in. He's going to ask doctor about switching to Vyvanse (which I take) at his next appointment. He'd been considering it anyway, but this makes it more urgent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 A friend noticed this when school started. The whole town filled their Rx at once and there were delays. I didn’t follow up to see if it was still a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
