The Cost of ADD/ADHD Medication

Although many people are recommended to take medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), the costs of the medication can be too high for some people to take advantage of their benefits.

I found a resource online which shows you the US costs for all of the ADHD medication.

In general, the older ADHD medications are much cheaper. These include: Ritalin, Ritalin SR, Dexedrine, Dexedrine Spansule, and any medication which is old enough to be a generic ADHD medication.

In general, the newer ADHD medications are more expensive: These include: Concerta, Metadate CD, Biphentin, Adderall, Adderall XR, Focalin, Focalin XR, Methylin, Daytrana.

You can find the chart listing the costs of ADHD medication here. This chart is updated as of November 2006.

At the time of writing this report, Vyvanse is not yet released, and thus its cost is not listed.

I have taken some images of the chart, just to preview it for you here:

    Hi,
    I am sorry to hear that you may have trouble paying for Vyvanse.
    I do not know how to find a program which will help you to fund this medicine.
    You will need to ask your doctor about which programs may be available when Vyvanse is released.
    All the best,
    Dr. Kenny
