How to Find Evekeo in Stock Near You

You've got the prescription in hand, but every pharmacy you call says the same thing: "We don't have it." If you're trying to find Evekeo in stock, you're dealing with one of the most frustrating realities of the ongoing stimulant shortage.

Evekeo (amphetamine sulfate) is a Schedule II controlled substance used to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and exogenous obesity. Its unique 1:1 ratio of d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine makes it different from Adderall — and unfortunately, harder to find.

But there are real, actionable strategies that work. Here's how to track down Evekeo in 2026.

Tip #1: Use Medfinder to Check Pharmacy Availability

The fastest way to find Evekeo in stock is to use Medfinder. Instead of spending hours calling pharmacies one by one, Medfinder shows you which pharmacies near you currently have Evekeo available.

Here's how it works:

1. Go to medfinder.com
2. Search for Evekeo or amphetamine sulfate
3. Enter your zip code
4. See a list of pharmacies with current stock information

This saves you time, gas money, and the stress of hearing "no" over and over. It's free to use and updated regularly.

Tip #2: Check Independent and Specialty Pharmacies

When most people think "pharmacy," they think of big chains like CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid. But independent pharmacies are often your best bet for finding hard-to-get medications like Evekeo.

Here's why:

• Multiple wholesalers: Independent pharmacies often work with several wholesalers, giving them more sourcing options
• Flexible ordering: They can often special-order medications that chains won't
• Personal relationships: A pharmacist who knows you may go the extra mile to find your medication
• Less red tape: Independent pharmacies typically have fewer corporate restrictions on what they can order

Don't overlook compounding pharmacies either. While they can't dispense manufactured Evekeo tablets, some may be able to compound amphetamine sulfate in specific situations with a valid prescription.

Tip #3: Time Your Search Strategically

Believe it or not, when you look for Evekeo matters almost as much as where you look.

Best times to check:

• Early in the week: Many pharmacies receive shipments on Monday or Tuesday
• Early in the month: Pharmacies often restock at the beginning of each month to handle the wave of refills
• Morning hours: Call pharmacies when they first open, before other patients call in

Timing your refill:

Most insurance plans and pharmacies will let you refill a Schedule II medication a few days before your current supply runs out. Don't wait until you're completely out — start looking 3-5 days before you need your refill.

What If You Still Can't Find Evekeo?

If you've tried Medfinder, called independent pharmacies, and timed your search — and you still can't find Evekeo — here are additional steps:

Talk to Your Prescriber

Your doctor or psychiatrist may be able to help in several ways:

• Call pharmacies directly (some pharmacies prioritize prescriber calls)
• Send your prescription to a pharmacy that has confirmed stock
• Discuss alternative medications that may be easier to find
• Adjust your dose to a strength that's more readily available

Expand Your Search Radius

If pharmacies in your immediate area are out of stock, consider expanding your search to neighboring towns or cities. A pharmacy 30 minutes away may have what your local pharmacy doesn't.

Ask About Pharmacy Waiting Lists

Some pharmacies maintain waiting lists for medications that are on backorder. Ask your pharmacist if they can add you to a list and notify you when Evekeo comes back in stock.

Consider the ODT Formulation

Evekeo is available in two forms: standard tablets and orally disintegrating tablets (Evekeo ODT). If one formulation is out of stock, the other might be available. The ODT comes in 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mg strengths.

What to Know About Transferring Your Prescription

If you find Evekeo at a different pharmacy than your usual one, here's what to keep in mind:

• Schedule II prescriptions cannot be transferred between pharmacies in most states. Your prescriber will need to send a new prescription to the pharmacy that has stock.
• Ask your doctor to e-prescribe directly to the pharmacy where Evekeo is available.
• If you have a paper prescription, you can take it to any pharmacy that has the medication in stock.

How to Save Money When You Do Find It

Evekeo can be expensive — brand-name Evekeo costs $350 to $600 for a 30-day supply without insurance. Before you fill your prescription, check out our guide on how to save money on Evekeo with coupons, discount cards, and patient assistance programs.

Final Thoughts

Finding Evekeo in 2026 takes persistence, but it's doable. Start with Medfinder to quickly check stock at pharmacies near you. Explore independent pharmacies, time your search strategically, and stay in close communication with your prescriber.

The stimulant shortage has made things difficult for everyone — patients, pharmacists, and doctors alike. But with the right tools and approach, you can find the medication you need.
