If you need ADHD medication and can't afford the high prices, you can afford Ritalin. Talk to your dr about trying that.
Ritalin included in Wal-Mart's $4 bargain drugs Tom Barlow Jun 8th 2009 at 1:00PM Text SizeAAA Filed under: Bargains, Health Perhaps attention deficit disorder led many Wal-Mart's pharmacy staffers to overlook the generic equivalent of Ritalin, methylphenidate, on its list of $4 prescription drugs. Mrmedsaver.com recently ended up debating a Wal-Mart pharmacist who refused to believe the evidence of the store's own list. Nonetheless, Wal-Mart does sell 60 tablets of 5 mg and 10 mg each for $4. Target and Kroger, among other national chains, also offer the drug at the bargain price. According to Consumer Reports, the drug isn't all that expensive even if not included in a $4 plan, though; it found 5 mg tablets for $26 for a 60 pill supply, 10 mg for $31. www.walletpop.com/blog/2009/06/08/ritalin-included-in-wal-marts-4-bargain-drugs?icid=main|aimzones|dl3|link7|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walletpop.com%2Fblog%2F2009%2F06%2F08%2Fritalin-included-in-wal-marts-4-bargain-drugs

They have 5mg tablets in the US? Economies of scale, I guess... we have to cut our 10mg ones in half... or quarters...

Wonder how long before some of the other generic ones make it to the $4 list...
I will have to have the ped write me a script for some of those for Chase to have for short acting times...he takes the longer lasting ones mostly, but we need the short acting sometimes...
