I’m not surprised to learn that Benn Jordan also has #ADHD (many of us artists and musicians do). Bless him for shining a light on what’s been causing the treatment shortage for it, and fuck the DEA.

This is your forewarning that I am close to out of adderall, and if today when I skipped one is any forewarning I am going to be a mess with so much brain fog and withdrawal if I can’t find some more 😔

#ADHD #AdderallShortage

I called a small pharmacy and they were so chill, transparent, and respectful I feel incredibly lucky.
They didn't seem like they get an overwhelming number of clients either so I may be able to dodge some parts of the #adderallshortage, at least for a little while.

Almost got my claws on Adderall again. Just gotta get real cozy with a lot of smaller pharmacies nearby so I can hopefully dodge the DEA blocking larger pharmacies from placing orders.

Finally got an appointment for a new psychiatrist so I can spend money for the privilege of playing Schedule II Phone Tag!

"Hey do you guys have Adderall?"
"No"
"Any mixed amphetamine salts?"
"No"

Repeat five to twenty times, get a confirmation, email psychiatrist with address, get script filled...

... and they're out by the time your doctor send in the script.

Oh boy! 

Calling several-dozen pharmacies to check if they have the medicine that enables me to call several-dozen pharmacies.

But the doctors can't do this for us because each pharmacy has a secret limit on how much medicine they can get.

No help is coming. Write your reps. #adderallshortage

Secret limits to stop ‘suspicious’ Xanax and Adderall orders are forcing some legitimate patients to scramble

Independent pharmacists said the rules force them come up with creative workarounds.

After almost a year of interrupted or unavailable #Adderall I finally have a new psych NP and a new prescription for #Vyvanse and I’m almost in tears imagining actually being able to do my job, manage relationships, !READ! without constant force and terror of failure. I needed to try something new anyways, Adderall effectiveness was reducing after 7+ years, although I’m not looking forward to the month long process to find the right dose again.

#ADHD #AdderallShortage

Waking up and not worrying about rationing my medication is a great feeling. The monthly ritual of trying to refill in an ongoing shortage is mental torture.

Oh! After all the ranting I've done about the #AdderallShortage in the US, I *finally* managed to get my prescription filled, thanks almost entirely to my amazing wife calling every pharmacy in the area. It can be done! I mean, not by me without already having my medication, but by other people at least. #ADHD
Me getting to experience all the ‘harm’ parts of ‘harm reduction’ again as the #ADHD #adderallshortage drags on. Just frantically reminding myself that I only have to survive this for an unknown short period of time and not forever.
