Ritalin shortage

Apparently there is a Ritalin (generic) shortage now, similar to the generic Adderall shortage a year or so ago. Just a heads up.

Are you serious? I just started it and im tired of trying new things :frowning:

From my research, yes. http://www.ashp.org/DrugShortages/Current/bulletin.aspx?id=752

I took Ritalin and went to get a refill. My pharm and I spent a week trying to get some--- no luck. I called about 20 pharms in the area with no luck.

My doc was able to switch it to Adderall (generic) and I filled that. It is a bit more expensive (for cash payments), but is more effective for me.

Wow, i wonder whats going to happen for me. Im not due for a refill for 2 weeks but should i be asking now to be on the safe side or just vhance it? I lost my insurance last month and cant afford anything to expensive :frowning:

I would talk to your doctor about it.
