Anyone else with ADHD on brand-name Focalin unable to fill at pharmacies?

I was getting brand-name, non-generic Focalin just fine for 3 years while at Kaiser, up until this January, but since they kicked out Medicaid patients I can no longer use their pharmacy. I’m struggling to get it anywhere else. CVS, Safeway, and Virginia Mason will only dispense generic dexmethylphenidate, saying “the brand-name is discontinued,” which isn’t something I realized could happen, especially for a newer medication. I’m limited on pharmacy options due to being disabled and unable to drive.

Is there anyone else who hasn’t been able to fill this? Are you also being told it’s discontinued? Or, has anyone BEEN ABLE to get brand-name Focalin XR at any pharmacies lately???
