And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.

So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

Well that's dumb. They should allow the production to be a total supply number, rather than by the manufacturer, so generics can pump out as much as they want to the overall limit and undercut the brand name supplier, forcing their hand in lowering the price.

You've described capitalism and not the corporate socialism our pharmaceutical overlords get to enjoy. In many cases, the same company produces both the name brand and generic versions of a drug.
