Is anyone else struggling to get Elvanse? I've been to 3 different pharmacies, and the Boots medication checker is showing there's no local availability either Sad

I'm not sure if you're still having this issue but I've had problems getting my meds on time for the past 3 months. The issue is getting progressively worse

@ellied7 I have actually managed to find a solution. My GP surgery have amended the prescription to the generic name, lisdexamphetamine. This means that the pharmacy can dispense Elvanse Adult, or Elvanse (which is the same, but easier to get hold of).

I thought this would be really difficult to do as I have a shared care arrangement, but it was actually really easy!

ah brilliant, I'll give this a go. I'm under a shared care agreement too so hopefully there's no issues. thanks !

What is shared care agreement?

Generics are not the same as branded. Just saying, out of experience
