Adderall not covered for adults--

Well it is definitely wise to change doctors is a doctor does not believe in adhad.

I would just like to try and help out any and all of you who can't get meds covered.  I have a number that you could call.  I am still waiting on applications for this place and it's supposed to help CA but I believe it's nationwide.  So, if anything, they can refer you and are very nice people.  It is a program where you either pay nothing for meds or very close to it.  Here is the number: toll free, 866-662-1351.  Good luck!!!

I don't know if you have a choice of health coverage - but where I am Kaiser Permanente covers the generic adderal. 

Yes, my ins. co. does not pay for it - I pay for the generic Adderall (not XR) myself.

I don't know about when dosage needs to be increased.  I'm sure other people out there can help you with that one. 

I can definitely relate to driving yourself crazy about the mistakes, though.  I have been driving myself crazy about a mistake at work that truly wasn't even my fault this time - and everything is okay now - but I still can't stop thinking about it. 

My Adderall is not covered for adults either, but my doctor calls in a pre-authorization to the insurance company so I can get it at the cost of my co-pay.

Wow - I never heard that they do that in some insurance companies.  That would surely suck - though I'd still buy it at cost if I had to.

Have you tried for the nearest alternative to Adderrall XR? There's Dexedrine sulfate spansules - work nearly the same (and fantastic for me).  It is cheaper to begin with (an older patent) - and seem to work just peachy for adults with inattentive ADHD.

Just a thought.

With regard to your second question, I am also curious to know how to know when to change dosage.

Adhd meds aren't covered on my Bil at all. Some Dr.'s says adhd in adults isn't real.
