Originally I had been taking 2 20mg Adderall (http://www.drugs.com/adderall.html) XR BID for quite some time. However, due to a new job and recently attending a much more demanding University, I requested my doctor change my Adderall Dosage.

I was offered Adderall XR 25 mg BID or Adderall XR 20 mg TID, to which I chose to try the 25mg. I went back a week later (long story short there were scheduling complications that's why) and explained the increase in dose was very helpful, and life didn't seem so chaotic now. I further went on to explain even though the dosage had been increased (works fine 3 days of the week because I'm just in school) that 4 days of the week I have work and 2 of those days are work + School. So he agreed to let me see if the Adderall XR 20mg TID worked any better. Also commenting that's the highest he felt comfortable prescribing which really doesn't concern me, as I see it, I wouldn't need this much if it wasn't for my high paying insanely difficult job.

Anyway think I got off tangent big time, I just filled the prescription for the 25's not long ago (I think the 19th of march) and per convenience issues I was wondering if I can get the prescription filled at a different pharmacy somewhere between the 7th and 10th of April. Yeah I know about schedule II law's as I'm going to school for pharmacy; however, my regular 20mg BID prescription was filled at 1 pharmacy on march 03, the dosage increase to 25mg BID was filled at another on march 19th - no insurance problems issued and no "too early to fill" notifications from the insurance company. I'm assuming this is because of the fact the dosage was seen as "Titrating up". My question is will there by any problems with getting the 20mg Adderall XR TID filled next week (as I go back to work that week and I'm on vacation right now)?<!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.drugs.com/forum/images/misc/progress.gif http://www.drugs.com/forum/images/buttons/edit.gif (http://www.drugs.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=230460)

If you are going to school for pharmacy, you should be familiar with the term "D/C'd". Aside from that if you try to fill your 20mg TID within 23 (depends per insurance company) days of your last fill (even if it was a different dose), you'll not only get denied the med, but you'll put the pharmacy on alert.

I would also not advise filling two different adderall dosages at two different pharmacies each month because that information is recorded and sent to the DEA automatically, who will take suspicion to you if it goes on long enough.

You might be right about those laws, but I have to say, I've had different prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy or different pharmacies within the same month, and I've never had a problem. During the trial phase, when my doc was trying to find the right medication and the right dose, I went back to her every 2 weeks, and she'd usually write me a new prescription each time (sometimes different drug, sometimes different dose, sometimes both) and no pharmacist ever said anything or gave me any weird looks. It didn't even occur to me that there might be a problem.

When I was titrating up and got a script reflecting the dose change, I took it to the pharmacy and asked my pharmacist if there would be a problem since I'd just filled script for adderall a couple of weeks earlier, and told him that if there was I'd be happy to come back in a couple of weeks, I just wasn't sure how it worked. He said no problem, since the dose has been changed. I did this two times, no problem with the pharmacist or my insurance.
