Adderall Prescription

Originally I had been taking 2 20mg Adderall (adderrall) XR BID for quite some time. However, due to a new job and recently attending a much more demanding University, I requested my doctor change my Adderall (adderrall) Dosage.

I was offered Adderall (adderrall) XR 25 mg BID or Adderall (adderrall) XR 20 mg TID, to which I chose to try the 25mg. I went back a week later (long story short there were scheduling complications that's why) and explained the increase in dose was very helpful, and life didn't seem so chaotic now. I further went on to explain even though the dosage had been increased (works fine 3 days of the week because I'm just in school) that 4 days of the week I have work and 2 of those days are work + School. So he agreed to let me see if the Adderall (adderrall) XR 20mg TID worked any better. Also commenting that's the highest he felt comfortable prescribing which really doesn't concern me, as I see it, I wouldn't need this much if it wasn't for my high paying insanely difficult job. I don't just work any regular job, I'm an Order Filler at Walmart Distribution Center. That doesn't mean I sway about taking my sweet time picking up boxes to be sent off to the Walmart stores as requested.

Anyway, I just filled the prescription for the 25's not long ago (I think the 19th of march) and per convenience issues I was wondering if I can get the prescription filled at a different pharmacy somewhere between the 7th and 10th of April. Yeah I know about schedule II law's as I'm going to school for pharmacy; however, my regular 20mg BID prescription was filled at 1 pharmacy on march 03, the dosage increase to 25mg BID was filled at another on march 19th - no insurance problems issued and no "too early to fill" notifications from the insurance company. I'm assuming this is because of the fact the dosage was seen as "Titrating up". My question is will there by any problems with getting the 20mg Adderall (adderrall) XR TID filled next week (as I go back to work that week and I'm on vacation right now)?

As long as the strength and dosage are not the same there should not be a problem filling it. There should be no issues with filling the 20mg Adderall (adderrall) XR TID.
