Is there a way to appeal? You might ask your doctor about that. I hope it gets resolved quickly if this medicine helps you.

I agree with greaterexp, go to your neurologist and get me in to talk to the insurance company or appeal it write a letter, etcetera. That would be your best hope in my believe but keep asking and perhaps of the other ideas the pop up that are solid. I am about to go on the same medicine and we'll see what happens with me! I'll keep you informed. Fancy.

Luckily I can still use Ritalin which helps like adderall. I would appeal since it works for you but if they deny it some MS patients use Amantadine. It’s still technically off label however it is not schedule 1 like the ADHD meds so maybe they will allow it.

You need to appeal this right away. Also you can do a formulary exception which would allow you to get the med as well'
