Suggest Alternate Over The Counter Medication For Adderall

Posted on Mon, 13 Feb 2017

Question: I recently moved back to the United States after living in China for 8 years.
My insurance does not start here until February 1st so I am trying to refill my scrips.
I was able to get my zoloft at the walk in clinic but not my adderall.
I have an appointment with a new doctor in february but do not know what to do until then.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Welcome to HCM,

I've gone thorough your query and understand your concern,

Well, you need to have a doctor's prescription in person, in order to get these medications from the pharmacies. Addrerall is a strictly prescription based medication and also a controlled substance (unfortunately it's beyond the scope of this online medical forum).

In such scenario, i'd suggest to continue with the Zoloft till then, and in case of any emergency, please visit your nearest ER/Urgent care for assistance (based on the findings, they can actually provide you the necessary prescription for the same).

Sorry for the inconvenience

Take Care
Kind Regards
