Title: Why is Adderall so expensive?
Post by: metacontxt on July 09, 2013, 09:11 pm
OK so I've been looking online for Adderall sellers on SR and holy shit is their gear expensive! I've bought some reasonably hardcore prescription stuff like generic alprazolam (Xanax) from regular websites and it's come through ok. Yes yes I know it's not the genuine Pfizer gear, but it does the job.

I've seen a lot of Adderall sellers on the web. A lot of them look dodgy as fuck, and there's no way I'm giving my credit card details to them. There are one or two websites that sell Adderall that appear legitimate, and a 30mg pill costs about $4 each. But....

In Australia we dose our wayward kids with 5mg dextroamphetamine tablets - they get a prescription of 5 - 8 or so a day. They're supposed to take them gradually through the day. If you want to buy these tabs under the table for the buzz/concentration and not the pharmaceutical benefit, they can be had from about $4 ea (reasonable) to $10 a tab (vendor's fucking dreaming and I'm sure no one's buying) on SR. This is not a dodgy cook up - it's the standard pharmaceutical shit ADHD kids take in Australia. You have a prescription and a bottle of 100x5mg pills costs you $12. No prescription and the same bottle costs $400 minimum through the back door.
 
Adderall consists of 30mg active ingredient - 3/4 dextroamphetamine and 1/4 levoamphetamine. So they're stronger than the 5mg pills in Australia. Wouldn't mind getting some of that.

But it costs in the region of $120 for 5x30mg Adderall pills on SR. Why so pricey? Even the lower strength (10-20mg) pills are $15-20 apiece.  I have no doubt the shit you get on SR is the real deal, but I don't understand why simple 5mg dexies we have in Australia can be bought on SR so much more cheaply than Adderall. And why there's such a big difference between the pricing of Adderall on pharma websites that have reliably sold me shit like Modafinil in the past and what you get on SR. To be honest, I trust the SR vendors more than I do the non-script pharma sites, but it still makes me wonder...
