Pharmacy: we can only keep 1 month of ADHD meds, because they're dangerous.
Pharmacy: you must let us know 2–3 days before you run out
Me: Let's them know a week before I run out
Pharmacy: (1 day before I run out) oops we don't have it
Me: When will you get my meds?
Pharmacy: lololol idk, maybe I'll tell you later, maybe not.

Emelia/Emi@iamada Meanwhile here in the US there's all that, but also an artificial shortage thanks to the DEA restricting production of the precursors, so it's backordered pretty much everywhere and thus a coin flip as to whether a given pharmacy even has the stock to fill it, and "for security reasons" they won't do stock checks over the phone before your doc calls it in...
Thankfully up in this corner we at least have a state-wide digital system for prescriptions (that's mandatory for controlled substances, but it's a generic system) so I can transfer it to a different pharmacy seamlessly, which is one of the many reasons I've stayed here instead of moving north or west to a cheaper state. (The system knows in real time when you've actually filled it, so it can enforce the "no refills until 2 days before you run out" rule regardless of what pharmacy you use)

@iamada it's a big reason I gave up ADHD meds and just smoked pot instead.
@LibertyForward1 unfortunately the €1.51 (that's actually a negative ~€1900ish) in my bank account does not allow me to bridge the gap like that this time.
@iamada fair point. At the time in my area of the US (about ten years ago) it was roughly the same price to score illicit marijuana than the prescription costs. (And less hassle)
Ziggy the Hamster ☎️ 4ZTH@iamada thus begins week 6 of not being able to fill my prescription

"people get addicted to these"
Care to explain how I keep forgetting to order more?
