Patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder are having trouble filling prescriptions of Adderall and generic versions of the drug amid growing demand and a shortage of the medication, according to manufacturers, retailers and patients.
Camber Clemence, from Fort Myers, Fla., hasn’t been able to get her prescription filled since June, which has forced her to make changes to her life at work and at home. She has dialed back her responsibilities at her marketing job because she has difficulty staying focused. As a parent of two teenagers, she said she struggles to remember scheduled tasks and events.
