I fill both XR and IR adderall (generic form). Once in a great while, I fill my IR, to keep as a back up. If I miss my XR, in the morning (weekends are the most likely time this happens), I use the IR, instead, so I’m not up all night.
Our town is out of the IR, or so I thought. Turns out I just needed to look at a different pharmacy. They had some in and filled it for me.
There are a limited amount of pills that can be provided to a pharmacist with Adderall. Amphetamine is a class II controlled substance, so has to be tracked. That’s why they limit the supply. I’m not sure how switching to another amphetamine would help. It’s just as controlled, I’m assuming.
Also, if you live in a college town, try to get your scrip filled before finals week. That’s when the kids who should be taking it, actually start taking it. The pharmacy really runs low during those times.
