ADD Medication - October 13th 2009, 01:56 AM
Right now I'm taking something called Focalin which is like concentrated Ritalin. It's $50 dollars a month, which is insane. It's because it doesn't yet have a generic.

Adderal and Ritalin both have generics. We don't have money - I feel bad spending $50 dollars because I can't pay attention on top of the other meds I take. What do you guys think, even though this is working for me right now, should I try to see if my psychiatrist will let me switch? I just want to bouce ideas off of you. =D

Thanks!

EDIT: After more research it appears there is a generic for Focalin... I just had the pharamist tell me there wasn't...
