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

7 months ago by cheese_greater to c/adhd

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

Well let's start with the price of the required DRs appointment every 3 months. We're lucky, the Dr only charges $80 w/o insurance.
