Many of the companies will supply medications free if you don't have insurance and have limited income. Doctors don't like it because there is some paperwork involved, and it usually only covers non-controlled substances but these 'compassonate care' programs are an option in many cases.
I emailed my CHADD contact today. She too was recently confronted with the preapproval issue for Adderall.
What a mess!
