Back in high school when I was able to use my parent’s insurance, I was on Strattera. But the generic version is, like, six times more expensive than Ritalin, so I’m thinking about trying something new.
Back in high school when I was able to use my parent’s insurance, I was on Strattera. But the generic version is, like, six times more expensive than Ritalin, so I’m thinking about trying something new.
I’m on generic Adderall, XR and instant release. My doctor started me on just the instant release for like a month to see how it went, and it was ok but the crash/comedown was rough (headaches mostly!). She then put me on just the XR which kinda worked but was far less effective. Now I take a combo, and it avoids the problems with each individual med.
I take a 10mg XR and 5mg instant in the morning, and then around lunch I take another 5mg instant. It’s been like 11 months of that combo and it’s still working well, though I do tend to not take it on weekends which might be helping avoid tolerances going up too quickly!
My insurance pays for most of it, I think 30 days for each is like $10 or $20 total.
