    Default The cost of Adderall or Generic Adderall

    I currently have NO insurance. Does any one know the going rate I can expect to pay for a months supply of Adderall or generic Adderall?
    I am going to see my doctor on Monday. I will have to drop some of my classes
    due to my severe concentration and focusing problems so I would like to start a course of medication to treat this and see if I improve.
    Just wondering how much its going to cost me due to the fact I am insurance-less.
    Thanks for your input I appreciate it.

    On drugstore.com 100 5mg "Amphetamine Salt Combo * " (generic adderall) tablets are $133. That seems pretty steep, but I don't know anything about adderall so it may be totally standard for the stuff.

    Here ya go:

    I searched 4 or 5 online pharmacies (they tend to have lower prices), but most don't seem to carry it. This one does, but only the name brand, so the prices are super high:

    You're welcome! And I definitely advise going with generic. It's the same stuff with a slightly less horrendous price tag.

    Not always. I'm not sure about adderal but there are TONS of people who find generic brands don't work at all or have different side effects than name brand. There's some Wellbutrin thread on here talking about it. I suggest checking out reviews online first.

    See, this is precisely why I'm opting to ask my new dude to pick me up some from his pharmacy in Jordan, where he gets all his shit. It's really hard to find on the med websites...they have Strattera, but not Adderall. I can't find it for shit from a reputable website and it's super expensive everywhere I do find it. I'm hoping like hell that he'll pick up some next week when he's there for business. I really really need it ASAP too.

    For generic Adderall (75 20mg pills per month) I pay about $75-80 bucks at Wal-Mart depending on what brand they have. For the name brand it's about $275. I buy the generic, but having taken the name brand as well, I've found it depends on what brand or generic I get as to how it affects me.

    very very true. REAL ambien works like a charm on my insomnia on half a pill.Genereic(which is all my ins will pay for bastards) takes 1-2 whole pills to work. It isnt as strong. It also isnt evenly distributed...one day I can take 1/2 and be knocked out...another day I can take a whole and be more wired then before. There are a LOT of complaints about this. The generic one just plain doesnt work as well

    Cool I will probably get the scrip filled at Wallyworld then. 80.00 is not so bad.
    I did not know there were various generic brands for Adderall I just thought it was the one Amphetamine Salts. Hmm interesting.

    I had the time release large orange and white Adderall capsules, did not like them they were way too strong. My ex took them for a year and wound up getting strange cysts all over.

    I usually get 150 10mg per month (I think that's right.... 50mg a day..) and the generic is so much cheaper... especially with no insurance. I fill mine at a mom & pop pharmacy and at Rite Aid (the prices Rite Aid lists on their website are a lot more expensive than what you actually end up paying, btw). The generic brand that I prefer is the 'softer' amphetamine salts flat pill.. the harder one with the rounded edges doesn't seem to work as well for me.

    Hm, I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip; I'll do more research before automatically picking the generic brands.

    I get 60mg of the generic tablets per day (3 times a day, 20mg). I pay about 90 dollars for a month's supply.

    I can't find the extended release ones in generic, do they have that? Since I lost my insurance I've been taking the regular ones.

    Just curious, do you take Adderall for ADHD or as an appetite suppressant? I read an article in Allure Magazine about the popularity of this drug for weight loss in Hollywood.

    I was diagnosed with ADHD by my shrink and he gave me an RX for Adderall. I did not eat much while I was on it. He told me that it affects the same dopamine receptors in the brain that cocaine does.

    I am not sure if the generics come in time release capsules or not. *Shruggs*

    I am taking it because I lack motivation on a grand scale and my concentration and
    focusing skills are very poor. I have a hard time sitting still in math class without fidgeting and I cannot follow along for more than a few minutes before my mind drifts off. I space out and do not realize I spaced out while time has been passing by and I am all most asleep and unaware of what just happened.
    I get lost easily while trying to follow along. I have frequent urges to leave class due to my inability to concentrate.

    ^No, they don't. I just had to have a pre-authorization form filled by my doc to get the time-released that was prescribed to me- BlueCross BlueShield won't pay for it straight up if you're over 18. Still waiting on mine...

    Damn. Well, anyway, the non time release stuff has a much stronger affect on me. I only took 10 mg yesterday and I felt extremely calm, serene, and focused. My XR prescription was for 20 mgs.

    To answer someone else's question, I take Adderall for ADHD, NOT to suppress my appetite. It also helps a lot with my anxiety. When I can't focus no matter how hard I try, I get panicky trying to keep my mind in place.

    As for the appetite thing, I really don't notice a huge difference in my appetite. I eat normally. I do notice that I crave healthier, more fulfilling foods but I think that's because I used to soothe my ADHD induced anxiety with processed, high fat foods.

    For me when I initially begin the medication my appetite is moderately decreased.
    After a month or so of getting used to the drug my appetite is back to normal.
    I would not recommend attempting to use this drug as a dieting pill.
