notloki Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I've avoided Adderall as I find dextroamphetamine sulfate alone more effective or potent. As I moved to Medicaid Zenzedi is not on the formulary so my only choice for a 30 mg pill was mixed amphetamine salts (Adderall). It is the only generic 30 mg IR tab on the market. Medicaid has a quantity limit of 60 tabs/month on the 30 Mg Adderall, so that will require a PA to get it approved for 90 tabs/month. My doc sent in a PA request for Zenzedi but I suspect they will say just take Adderall and we will raise the limit to 90. So I was stuck paying retail for my mixed amphetamine salts this month and probably next month, too. GoodRx has a coupon for $54.00. Zenzedi has a program for people who pay cash but is limited as to the max assistance it will provide so I would be paying $400-500 with the card discount. Adderall is better than no amphetamine at all, but I find it not as effective now that I have taken it for a half month.

notloki Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yes, as a child I liked it but as an adult it just made me anxious and dysphoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustNuts Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Why not just apply for the Arbor Pharmaceuticals Patient Assistance Program (it covers Zenzedi, and if you're on Medicaid you should be eligible)? http://arborpharma.com/docs/pap-application.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 I will do just that. AS long as Medicaid rejects covering it by PA I'm in. Thanks ! MY doctor gave me a card for a cash discount from Arbor if you were paying cash or some co-pay assistance. I thought that is all there was., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
