Hey there, I was diagnosed back in 2007 with type 2 narcolepsy and it took several medications until we were able to find something that helped me.
If you don’t mind me asking what health Insurance do you have, I’m only asking because you’ll have to check and see if you can use Optum mail order for your Adderall and find out if your doctor will send a prescription to them for your Adderall, He’ll have to write it for the generic form..
I switched to Optum Rx when I started having issues getting my two Adderall prescriptions, and I haven’t had any issues since I started which was almost 2 years ago. They come in the mail directly to my house and that’s wonderful. So check with your insurance company and see if you can get it from Optum Rx and see if your doctor will submit your prescription. They do have the generic brand, the extended-release and the short-acting. I get both in the generic form. I hope that helps you
