Focalin Reviews

I have to go to 4-6 pharmacies to get a perscription of


FOCALIN XR. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like everyone is on this medication. I think I’ll order it from my mail order pharmacy next time instead of driving around the city. BTW, the pharmacies wont tell me if they have it over the phone since it’s a controlled medication.

I have had that same problem.  When my boys first got their meds, I would have to drive to several different pharmacies to get Ritalin. I would have to go outside the city sometimes to the suburbs to get it.  My kids are on Focalin XR and we don’t have a problem getting that because there is a pharmacy on site at the psychiatrist’s office, which is convenient.  It is not unusual for a pharmacy to not have the meds.  If you tell them that you will be a regular there, they will order it and keep it in stock.  I had to do that at first at the Walgreens.  It is all a part of this process of treatment.
