American ADHD'ers: settle a bet: how cheap+available (uninsured) is dextroamphetamine SR or ER/XR single ingredient? (lemmy.world)

I obliquely was referring to how insanely priced Dexedrine Spansules are in America and they countered with (unknowingly) that generics are almost always available for basically every med in America. Which, they're not outrageously (seemingly) totally out there but I dont think it totally captures how fucked US prices are for even the staples sometimes

[–] irotsoma@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I take 1 per day, 25mg extended release.

Not so bad I guess, thats actually probably cheaper than in my system. Some drugs like generic Ambien are like that even for us. Generic ambien is like $50/a month for 30 tablets, thank god insurance foots the bill for most of that cost.

Same with Naltrexone, that shit (the generic nonless) is expensive as shit

Yeah, overall, that drug is pretty cheap in its generic form. One of the cheapest I take. But it is really just a mix of a couple of amphetamines that have been around for a long time. Adderall was only expensive as a name brand due to the patent monopoly, even on remixed drugs. The generic version may or may not the exact same mix of drugs, but whatever it is, it's cheap. I never took the name brand, though.
