How much does a Mydayis (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) generic cost?
You’re likely asking about pricing for a generic version of Mydayis, the extended-release mixed amphetamine salts used for ADHD. Generic costs usually vary by:
- Dose strength (capsules come in multiple strengths)
- Pharmacy (and whether you use discount programs)
- Your insurance plan and whether the generic is covered
- Availability in your area at the time you fill the prescription
Because generic “Mydayis” pricing depends heavily on your exact dose and location, the most reliable way to get a current out-of-pocket estimate is to price the exact strength at your preferred pharmacy or on a prescription discount platform.
Is there actually a generic version of Mydayis, or is it still brand-only?
As of typical market realities for extended-release stimulant products, “Mydayis generic” pricing hinges on whether a true generic has been approved and is available in the specific strengths you need. If there is no approved generic in your dose, you generally won’t see generic pricing and will be paying either brand price or negotiated brand discounts.

What usually makes Mydayis (or any generic stimulant) expensive?
Even when a generic exists, costs can remain high due to:
- Limited manufacturer supply in certain strengths
- High demand for controlled-substance schedules and stimulant shortages
- Insurance prior authorization rules
- Pharmacy dispensing fees and your copay structure
How can you lower Mydayis generic cost?
Practical ways patients usually reduce out-of-pocket cost:
- Ask the pharmacy for the cash price before insurance (sometimes lower than your copay)
- Ask about store brand/discount price options
- Use a manufacturer copay card only if you’re eligible (often brand-focused)
- If the generic isn’t affordable, ask your prescriber/pharmacist about therapeutically equivalent alternatives (other ADHD stimulants, different ER formulations)
If you tell me your Mydayis dose (e.g., 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 37.5 mg, 50 mg) and your ZIP code (or country/state), I can narrow down what you should expect to pay and what to ask the pharmacy for.
