Learn how to save money on Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine (Adderall) in 2026 with coupons, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and other cost-cutting tips.
If you're paying out of pocket for Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine — commonly known as generic Adderall — you've probably experienced sticker shock at the pharmacy counter. Brand-name Adderall can cost $350 to over $800 per month without insurance. Even the generic version can run $50 to $100+ per month at full retail price.
The good news? There are several ways to bring that cost way down. In this guide, we'll walk through coupons, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and other strategies that can save you hundreds of dollars a year on your ADHD medication.
Here's what you can expect to pay at full retail price in 2026 without any discounts or insurance:
Prices vary by pharmacy, location, and dosage strength. The numbers above represent typical retail ranges without any discount applied.
Prescription discount cards are one of the easiest and most effective ways to save on Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine — especially if you're uninsured or your insurance has a high deductible.
GoodRx (goodrx.com) offers free coupons that can bring the price of generic Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine IR down to as low as $15–$40 per month for a 30-day supply. Generic XR prices with GoodRx typically range from $35–$80 per month. Prices vary by pharmacy — Costco, Walmart, and independent pharmacies often have the lowest GoodRx prices.
SingleCare (singlecare.com) is another popular discount card that works at most major pharmacies. Prices for generic Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine through SingleCare are comparable to GoodRx, typically $20–$50 for IR and $40–$90 for XR per month.
RxSaver (rxsaver.com) compares prices across multiple discount programs to help you find the best deal. It's worth checking alongside GoodRx and SingleCare, as the lowest price varies by pharmacy and location.
Additional discount card programs that may offer competitive prices include:
Pro tip: Always compare prices across 2-3 discount programs before filling. Prices can differ by $20 or more for the same medication at the same pharmacy.
You generally cannot use a discount card and insurance at the same time for the same prescription. However, if your insurance copay is higher than the discount card price (which happens more often than you'd think), you can ask the pharmacy to run the discount card instead. Just let the pharmacist know.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and have a low income, patient assistance programs (PAPs) may provide your medication for free or at a greatly reduced cost.
Since Teva Pharmaceuticals manufactures one of the most widely prescribed generic versions of Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine, their patient assistance program is worth checking. The Teva Cares Foundation (tevacares.org) provides qualifying patients with Teva medications at no cost. Eligibility typically requires:
NeedyMeds (needymeds.org) is a nonprofit that maintains a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, discount drug cards, and other resources. Search for Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine to see all available programs.
RxAssist (rxassist.org) is another resource that helps connect patients with pharmaceutical company assistance programs. It includes information on Teva's programs and other manufacturers' offerings.
RxHope (rxhope.com) helps patients apply to manufacturer patient assistance programs through a centralized application process.
If your prescription is written for brand-name Adderall or Adderall XR, make sure your pharmacy is dispensing the generic version. Generic Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine contains the same active ingredient and is FDA-approved as therapeutically equivalent — but costs a fraction of the brand price. The savings can be $200–$700+ per month.
Pharmacy prices vary wildly — even within the same city. A 30-day supply of generic Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine IR might cost $90 at one pharmacy and $25 at another with the same discount card. Always compare prices at:
Some pharmacies and insurance plans offer better per-pill pricing for 90-day supplies. However, because Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine is a Schedule II controlled substance, not all states or pharmacies allow 90-day fills. Check with your pharmacist and prescriber about what's possible in your state.
Price doesn't matter if you can't find the medication. Medfinder helps you locate pharmacies that currently have Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine in stock near you. Once you know which pharmacies have it, you can compare prices at those specific locations.
You shouldn't have to choose between your health and your budget. Between discount cards, patient assistance programs, generic prescribing, and smart pharmacy shopping, there are real ways to save money on Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine in 2026.
