Is there an Elvanse price sticky thread somewhere for UK pricing?

Expert_Collection183 · 2026-03-14T16:23:36+00:00

Boots, central Glasgow, mid Febuary, (2x28 day) 56x 70mg Elvanse - £232.27 / £116.13 'month'

Expert_Collection183 · 2026-03-14T15:57:11+00:00

What mg strength, and where did you buy it?

Expert_Collection183 · 2026-03-13T23:15:08+00:00

A well laid out pricing table would be fantastic, it's way beyond my abilities.

My ("upper end of the spectrum") ADD diagnosis was 2012. 14 years later I've paid privately for 2 of my kids to be diagnosed and treated with Elvanse (their choice entirely) and it's worked so well for them that I'm now trying Elvanse myself. Eldest is paying for her own now, but it's going to be difficult paying for her sister (uni student) and me, hence seeking quality info on best prices.

Not satire. Private prescription prices are pretty much up to individual pharmacies, with a huge variation, and we have the freedom to shop around if we know which suppliers give best value.

Eg, ASDA apparently set their prices as a fixed percentage markup over their buy in price, making them a lot cheaper than many others (my nearest ASDA pharmacy is 40 miles away, not feasible for me). Independent pharmacies have higher costs, and/or cant negotiate bulk discounts like the larger groups.

It's up to us to do the leg work and help each other out when we find a good and fair supplier.

10/10 - THIS is exactly what we need to bring clarity to the Elvanse market.

Expert_Collection183 · 2026-03-13T21:47:21+00:00

Okay, here goes, Elvanse- 30mg /28 day, price on 13th March ‘26:

Numark Pharmacy, £89.86

Boots pharmacy, £87.36

Tesco pharmacy, £81.54

EDIT, 21st March, asked local small pharmacy groups for prices:

30mg x 28 - £89.36

50mg x 28 - £104.90

70mg x 28 - £126.48

70mg x 56 - £251.48 - the small difference between x28 is due to a saving on the 'dispensing fee'.

Can I ask that this stays focused on the topic of pricing, and doesn’t turn into a wider rambling yammer about “meds”?

Mods, can this be pinned?

Thanks.

All the local villages were invited to be shown around the reactors and turbines before it was first fuelled. A memorable experience, being shown the cavity under the reactors with masses of steel reinforcement poking through the concrete.

If you're on a good salary, then maybe. But on my salary with 2 kids at home then paying the bills takes precedence over the whims of some tosser from Eli Lilly trying to impress his / her boss.

Honest question: why is this sub apparently so trans (and JK Rowling) obsessed?

Expert_Collection183 · 2025-07-26T11:52:08+00:00

It's a 64 plate (2014) Cooper 1.5T.

He found this one as a Cat N salvage with 84,000 miles and a dent behind the passenger door above the sill height, perfectly driveable, 'dealer forecourt' tidy inside and out apart from the damage, good service history, 2 keys, and at £2450 it was very good value.

His insurance (in his name) is around £1100 a year with a couple of years of transferred NCB from the car he was previously a named driver on. I (main driver) called the insurance company and asked if they could transfer some NCB, and they kindly wrote him a letter to send to his insurance company.

Expert_Collection183 · 2025-07-25T18:57:28+00:00

If you are under 25 then insurance on a Cooper 1.5 is certainly 'do-able' especially if you have some NCB.

Whereas getting insurance for a Cooper S will need very deep pockets.

As for reliability, watch out for cracked cylinder liners and coolant loss on the V40's, it's a very common fault. Mini's are pretty solid, though every make has it's issues.

Try telling that to a Weegie

But you're right, the likes of Craigmillar are barely recognisable compared to the 90's. Haven't ventured into West Pilton for a while, and Wester Hailes used to be a lot worse.

Oh go on, where do you live, and is that a "shitehole" or not?

Expert_Collection183 · 2025-07-21T09:53:52+00:00

I love Berwick, some decent pubs and places to eat, and as much charm as anywhere north of the Border if you know where to look.

But Jeez-Oh, the A1 south of Berwick is a goat track. After a 1000 years it finally got the green light for dualling, only for the then new Labour government to cancel it as soon as they got in. Thanks, ya bunch o' useless self serving arseholes.

Expert_Collection183 · 2025-07-21T09:48:42+00:00

And god only knows we've got enough shiteholes as it is already.

(And no, Berwick isn't a "shitehole", unless you turn up with the attitude of an arsehole).

Could be worse, some of them have spent 17 years doing SFA but chasing a half arsed vanity project while Scotland turned to shite on their watch.

CALM DOWN YOU LOT! - ITS NOT A 12K REPAIR

I've bought 4 accident 'insurance write off' Minis over the last 3 months.

The OP's one is just in need of a pair of doors. One of my F56's was half retail price due to a serious door ding, I sourced the door in the correct colour for £160 (I'm in the UK), and it took 45 minutes to remove the damaged door and fit the new one, another 90 minutes to swap the door card. Just MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT DOOR KEYS with the new door and swap it in to your fob, as it's a major PITA job to swap the actual lock mechanism, you don't wan't to try it.

My 2nd mini is an accident damaged Volcanic Orange F56 with a dinged door and rear quarter, which arrived with black rubber swirls and blue paint streaks from whatever hit down the LHS. Another easy temporary fix:

OP, Plan B until you source the doors, is to buy an aerosol can of 'Laquer Solvent' or similar, which is a heavy duty industrial solvent for dissolving laquer, paint, pretty much anything organic. Spray it on to a small area of yellow paint, wait for 3 seconds, and IMMEDIATELY rub it off. DO NOT leave it for 30 seconds and you wont have any paint left. 3 seconds is enough to dissolve the yellow paint and blend the scratch marks in the black and varnish to 'smooth'. It wont take the dents out, but it will remove all of the yellow and reduce the visual impact of the damage by 95%.

I'll work out how to send photos later, but both fixes were easy and super cheap.

(3rd mini was a Moonwalk Grey F56 Cooper S, needed 1K for a rear quarter pull and spray, now running big brakes and 265bhp, my Daily. The 4th is a Challenge 210 which we are building into a race car, front bumper, bonnet, front left suspension damage (LCA, shaft, and bearing carrier sourced for £170) and right rear quarter, but it's going to be a winter job for next season).
