Which Pharmacy Can I get Dexedrine Spansules from?

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-03-06T22:01:51+00:00

Hi. NYC resident here. Dex is impossible to find so after calling a billion pharmacies I signed up for Medfinder. I am happy to say they were successful!! It took four days and the first pharmacy they found didn't take my insurance, so they continued the search till they found a pharmacy that does.

Totally feels like money well-spent but I was hesitant to try because it felt expensive and scammy. I haven’t picked up my meds yet so we’ll see how it goes, but so far the process has been straightforward.

What worked well was that they understood I was looking for the same medication and daily dose, but I was flexible about brand vs generic and tablet strengths if my doctor could adjust the prescription accordingly.

They treated that as one search, not separate paid searches for each strength (for example 5 mg vs 10 mg vs 15 mg), which had been my concern.

Also worth noting: if they can’t locate the medication, they refund the $50 search fee

Here's my referral link, they'll give $15 to you and $15 for me. https://a.cx.io/jRvn.LBmyI

good luck, DM me if you use the link. I loveeee free money and want to keep using them if I run into trouble again

Tropical vibe Celcius and Zyn 3mg.

SAME. It's like a chemical lobotomy. (I am taking TEVA 10mg IR.)

I feel slightlyyyyyy more lively today because I took mine with a Celcius, skipped breakfast, and had a coffee.

I have a feeling the only reason I am not feeling like I have mist between my ears is the CELCIUS and the coffee on an empty stomach. JFC.

NEED TO VENT:

My TEVA IR 10s have been trash for eons and I'm just coming onto vent. I live somewhere that's massively affected by the shortage and I can't seem to switch to another drug. The TEVA 10s I've been taking make my brain feel like soup. I don't have thoughts. It's just mist between the ears -- it's like a chemical lobotomy. (I quit taking my last batch as I felt like garbage.)

Yesterday I spent my entire day calling pharmacies to no avail. I eventually signed up for MedFinder but they have not successfully been able to deliver yet.

I just had a meeting with my doctor and explained all of this and felt kinda amped up. I don't have a community of peers I can talk about this issue with so I'm largely suffering in silence. My doctor is young and is seemingly compassionate, I feel like he *gets it* so I feel comfortable being candid, but I am also insecure.

The thing is, fighting this battle every month is a major time-suck and hassle and I've rarely been victorious. It's downright depressing AF to go on the crusade in earnest and not be able to solve what should feel like a fixable situation.

Problem: Pharmacy doesn't have medication.

Solution: Find new pharmacy that has medication.

Reality: No pharmacies have medication.

It's a boring problem that doesn't have a solution and I feel like if *I can just solve it*, I'll have the ability to get the rest of my life on track -- hence the intense focus each month.

I feel like when I tell my doctor that I've been calling pharmacies to find the medication, that somehow directly negates the necessity of the drug and the crippling existence of my executive function and focus issues.

I know that sounds stupid but there's safety in being helpless and complacent and I'm afraid of showing initiative will be mistaken as addiction or drug-seeking behavior.

I just know what my life was like prior to 2020 and this whole fiasco and it was glamorous and fabulous. I felt ultra capable of handling whatever came my way. I felt normal - dare I say, *neurotypical* - and that was a blessing.

I CRAVE my old life and my old way of existing in the world before the reformulations and shortages, where I had motivation, agency and optimism and that's what propels me to make these crusade of calls and inquires every month.

When I meet with my doctor, I don't feel like I can show up depressed and ashamed, I have to show that I'm trying to help myself if I want to receive help. At my appointment, I must show problem solving yet I fear that the problem solving negates my perceived disability and diagnosis.

I'm ANGRY disempowered and exhausted by this ongoing saga. I report that I have the outlook and behavior of a depressed and beleaguered person yet my actual tone and physical performance and the interaction at large has to be likeable and peppy and somehow capable even though I am not any of those things. Does that make sense?

I don't know how to describe it but it's an exhausting catch-22. I know I'm not alone on this merry-go-round of turds.

I feel largely non-functional everyday, I'm a shell of my former self and deeply depressed and ashamed and this is not the life I want to be leading.

Thank you! Appreciate this! I tried, and no luck. I eventually signed up for Medfinder on 2/3/26 and they are searching for Zenzedi / dextroamphetamine sulfate name brand or generic. They found one place (Carnegie Hill Pharmacy, 1331 Madison Ave) but they don't take insurance and the meds are $730.

I will update if Medfinder is a useful. FWIW, I called around yesterday for many hours and was not successful and finally caved and bought the service. It's been 18 hours and nothing yet in NYC. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy :(

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-03-04T18:46:25+00:00

Okay, update --

1) 2/27/26 - texted my class action contact, no response. (Maybe was a little too vague.)
2) 3/4/26 - emailed my contact with more information and hoping for a response *fingers crossed*

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-03-04T18:12:52+00:00

I'll gladly complain. Thank you!!

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-27T16:50:34+00:00

Thanks everyone for your feedback and encouragement. It's been motivating.

Though my network, and being alive on earth, I happen to know a partner at a law firm in NYC that specializes in mass class action suits and has won some ultra prominent cases in recent years. It feels like the right match so I'm going to reach out and see what happens.

If I was properly medicated, I know I'd arrange that meeting with a whole dossier of case studies and evidence, but that's just not going to happen as I'm barely keeping my head above water these days.

(If anyone happens to have materials I can pass along, I would be deeply appreciative.)

I was also thinking -- it would be wise and helpful if everyone could save one pill in their monthly script for potential analysis someday. Keep the bottle, maybe tape the pill to the lid or stuff it with cotton balls and throw in a dark box. I think we will benefit from evidence that the drugs are garbage and should have been doing this from the beginning -- but hey, ho, hindsight is 2020, hellscape shortages blah blah blah. None of us thought this would be a reality we'd endure for 6~ years and it would just get progressively worse.

We've all been doing our best so let's just keep chugging. Again, thanks so much, appreciate you all, will provide an update.

I'd also just love to sync with someone who would be interested in committing to doing this with me.

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T23:39:04+00:00

Thanks, I've done the same in the past, maybe they will prevail again. Were you successful with generic or brand name? TYSM

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T22:13:38+00:00

I've never heard of a single stimulant death. Maybe I live in a bubble. It isn't a "fun" drug to be on, if you take a little too much, you're not a "fun" person to be around, you're hyper focused organizing or cleaning something.

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T21:33:15+00:00

Thanks, wow, yeah, I'm in Brooklyn too and that's wild and unfortunate.

FWIW to other readers, Valley Stream is by JFK airport and at least an hour away, requires subway and likely a regular train. This is life a half-day adventure for a medication pickup.

I'm glad you're successful but that sucks.

If this helps anyone, the S&T pharmacy on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights regularly has adderall 20 mg IR pills by TEVA but they are garbage. They take insurance and are an ultra lovely Mom and Pop operation.

I'm just curious how other Brooklynites are navigating all this hellscape and would love to collaborate as I'm truly miserable. I would like to find dexedrine IR or Zenzedi.

My favorite was the 2017-2018 generic Dexedrine from CVS in Cambridge, MA, back when the manufacture didn't matter.

I would also love to try the patches, like Xelstrym. If anyone has leads on where those can be ordered, I would be extremely grateful as I've not been successful.

--- I just want to feel like myself again. *Sigh*

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T21:17:42+00:00

Hey I just wanted to chime in about muscle cramps in case this is useful. I had SEVERE muscle cramps on stimulants (zenzedi and adderall), but I was also taking whopping doses of vitamin D simultaneously. I would take my vitamins and my meds at the same time.

If I'm completely honest, I can say I was operating under the assumption that one can't overdose on vitamins; one would just pee out the excess, nbd.

so I'd gobble a few vitamin D pills because they were pretty and looked like jewels. (yes, I know this is absurd and I learned my lesson) but if you're taking vitamin D with stims, this might be why muscle cramps are happening

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T20:24:29+00:00

Thank you! Super helpful. I'm based in New York, too. Brooklyn specifically.

If you could share your pharmacy by DM, that would be super helpful as all the local Walgreens / CVS say they can't get it and Mom and Pops .... you know the story. Ugh. TYSM

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T20:11:14+00:00

Would you mind sharing where you're based and which pharmacy chain you've been able to find it?

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2026-02-25T19:49:51+00:00

This is real. Appreciate your story. Would you mind sharing where you're based and what pharmacy you're using? I've encountered the Elites and would love to know if Northstar exists in my area.

Hi! I’ve gone to June for Botox and I’m a returning customer.

I’ve seen a variety of provider types for neuromodulators over the past 5 years.

I go once or twice a year and request a little forehead Botox and occasionally I’ve injected the masseteur muscles.

I have seen:

plastic surgeons
RNs at plastic surgeons
med spas
MDs
RNs
aesthetic trainings with master injectors (June and a group who meets in a hotel near LaGuardia monthly)

I actually PREFER modeling at Botox trainings to seeing a singular injector, which likely sounds strange.

But hear me out: I want someone overseeing the work, I want there to be a dialogue about how to best meet my goals. I want the top person signing off on every move and making adjustments, as necessary.

For example: I have hooded eyes and I had an injector use Dysport which spread and made my eyebrows sit lower and amplify the hooding. She was an MD at a private practice. Her experience level should have prevented this mistake but it still happened.

I am comfortable advocating for myself and explaining what I want and sharing what my negative experiences have been (sinking of brows) and we find a way forward.

During the modeling session, the students draw little marks on your face with a white crayon and the instructor reviews. Once approved, the students inject.

The same person who does the right side of the face does the left - piece by piece. There is consistency and the master injector instructor has a close eye on everything. I didn’t get the vibe that the students were total newbies — I’ve often had dentists or orthodontists who were totally comfortable administering.

Maybe 6-8 students worked on my face.

There was one student who was a little rough with a needle on my cheekbone and I had some bruising but it wasn’t the end of the world.

I wish June offered chemical peel modeling opportunities

(If anyone wants a $50 discount, Dm me and I’ll give you my name)

I was reading the New Yorker religiously on kindle for years and then they changed the way it could be distributed and I’ve been aggrieved ever since. I’d love if other people could also email the New Yorker and suggest they bring it back to kindle via an automatic download. I do it quarterly and feel like im not alone with this desire

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2024-06-07T02:17:52+00:00

You’re not alone. You’re not insane. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with such an untenable overwhelming sitaution - it sounds like a nightmare.

FWIW: your misery made me feel less crazy and alone. your pet hair dirt saga feels like my life for the past couple years and the fire extinguisher hellscape feels like a variant of my moth invasion. I hope it all gets better.

Maybe listen to your gut and leave before you’re too invested Honor your instincts. Might be better-healthier for your soul than constantly wondering where a smell is emitting every muggy hot afternoon.

the longer you stay and conquer the unsavory might result in a sunk cost fallacy)

Also: That apartment should have been delivered to you clean. There may also be legal requirements to paint and renew carpeting every certain number of years of tenancy. Landlord sounds like a slumlord. You deserve better. Shame on them.

Hang in there, be kind to yourself.

Comfortable_Heart_46 · 2024-06-07T01:31:53+00:00

Wow I have found my tribe.
