This article shares a warning about potential shortages of benzodiazepines due to their reliance on petroleum as an ingredient. I am not familiar enough to know if the medical advice shared by the author is valid, it's probably better to check with your own doctor.

"The instability in the Arabian Gulf has effectively cut off 90 percent of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as of March 2026, and this directly impacts the chemical precursors required to manufacture benzodiazepines like diazepam, clonazepam, Ativan, and lorazepam."

It took a whole week but Wallgreens was able to obtain 10 mg IR Adderall despite the shortage (maybe it’s over or this dose wasn’t as back ordered?) Walmart can probably get it too since they used to use the same distributor.

#ADHD #PSA According to reddit users, Rite Aid isn’t ordering meds they don’t have in stock, which means if yours was running into shortages (adderall specifically, in this post) you probably shouldn’t send your prescription there.

This can’t be true! The president said he would end drug shortages & this is just saline. Why didn’t he fix this?? /s

“IV Fluid Shortages Persist Months After Hurricane Helene Hit a Supplier—Hospitals Have Had to Adapt”

#DrugShortage

Struggling to focus this week, the first time that I feel working from home is a disadvantage.

Fairly certain the cause is the ongoing shortage of the ADHD drugs I’ve been taking for a dozen or so years. Supply was erratic at the start of the year, and I’ve been unable to get anything at all since early July - barring 14 days supply in August.

I’ve been rationing out of necessity for six months - as supplies dry up completely the impact is entirely predictable. #Freelance #ADHD #DrugShortage
