Dealing with the Adderall Shortage in Senior Year

I see that's this just isn't affecting my area. Yeah I didn't didn't have Adderall for over a month which isn't that bad. Look I into different meds if you can and suggest it to your parents. Or you can do what I didnt and lower the dosage and wait until they have your regular back in stock.

Another option would be to look into Saffron. It’s a natural remedy for ADHD. Studies have found it’s just as, if not more, effective than Adderall. I switched in October and haven’t had any issues.

Then you could always go back to Adderall once the shortage fixes itself hopefully. However, I don’t think I could function with nothing. It’s difficult, especially depending on how severe your ADHD is.

I had to get like a prior authorization because of my insurance, other than that minor inconvenience no. However, you said you were a senior in high school, so I’m assuming you’re on your parents insurance? You should be okay. There are other ones other than Vyvanse. I would just express your concerns openly and honestly with your prescriber. Perhaps look inquire about all your option? I know they have come out with a few new kinds too.
