So, I have no insurance and can't afford Adderall. Has anyone had any experience with Shire's PAP? Is it difficult to get meds through?

shires pap covers my 60 pills of 30mg XR, which is at least $240. must attach your most recent tax doc (1040), the financial requirements are that you must make under something like ~$19.5k a year, and a few other things:

they send your psych a (payment/credit-like) card, must send a financial update at six months or six uses, whichever is first, then you must renew after a year/twelve uses, whichever is first. ive used this for two years. i attach an extra note to that (printed) pdf, stating that i have 60 pills of 30mg (by default they cover 30 caps/month.)

Do you mean they cover 60 caps of 30mg per month? Is that the "managers' card" thing? I thought the most they would cover was 30 caps/ month.

Thanks, it's kind of confusing to me.

I got my card in about a month. $ 5.00 is nice.

I'd like a little clarification about 30X2-XR. I take it I would have to reapply again?

you take it right.
im not familiar with that jargon (manager card). the actions i took (for 60 caps) are as previously stated:
i attach an extra note to that (printed) pdf, stating that i have 60 pills of 30mg (by default they cover 30 caps/month.)
i have the psych write it like a prescription.
