Sorry if this has already been posted, but I am wondering how everyone is handling the shortage? I first heard that it was adderall and my son wasn't being affected because he takes Focalin xr. Last time refill they could only give me 20 instead of 30. I called right now to possibly up my sons dose and the ped said now all adhd meds are having shortage issues. I'm wondering if this is non stims as well? Thank goodness for my son that school is almost over. But he's been having issues which is why we want to up his dose or switch. This is kind of stressful!

We have change to Vyvanse and the only side effect is that it doesn't make our son hungry, but at least he has the medication to take.
Good luck
We went a week without adderal while we waited for someone to get them in. It was rough!
We were unable to find methylphenidate at any of the chain pharmacies. The doctor suggested the pharmacy inside the hospital. They not only had it, but it was also much cheaper.
