Adderall Pricing

Hey guys, I'm looking for some insight why Adderall (the brand) is so expensive on the DNM compared to getting it from a random person selling it on the street. I know a guy who, who knows plenty of people who've sold their Adderall perscripts. for half the price of the DNM, for the same quantity and dosage. Is there a false rarirty caused by all the random people who are over-diagnosed with ADHD comprared to those, who have the knowledge and are willing to sell on the DMN?

With an Adderall script the max dosage is 60mg a day and thats really hard to get with out years of upping your dosage slowly. Many doctors will try to push you to vyvanse as it has less abuse potential.

60mg is 3 20mg a day or 2 30mg. This is 60 or 90 pills a month. Also both XR and IR Adderall is off patent and available generic. If you really want the name brand you have to pay extra at the pharmacy (on some insurances this is the difference between a $30 and a $5 copay per script. Note: you have one script per month per pill per day).

Someone abusing Adderall can go through much more than 60mg / day and each person selling a script has a max of 90 pills per month to sell. You can't just go get more because you sold them all.

My thinking is that while the source for Adderall is pretty much just the US, the market is worldwide. Doctors in other countries aren't as eager to prescribe it from what I've seen compared to their counterparts in the States.

The price is high as shit because that's what people will pay in countries where it's not as easily attainable as it is in the US.

Your false rarity theory also has merit. Lots of people have Adderall prescriptions and can handle the comparatively low risk of selling it in person. Not a lot of people both have a prescription and are willing to vend.

The people you know are selling their 30-60 pills to maybe 10 people. The vendors on the market probably don't have many more pills but their listings are visible to thousands of people. There is a magnitude of difference in the demand on DNMs and vendors price appropriately.

In the US a prescription is just too easy to get, so the street markets are flooded

People don't get 3 months supply at 40mg a day to sell at once anymore, and you're not at college where everyone has a supply.
