Wow. Its insane how patients are treated like guinea pigs in a neverending race to the bottom vis-a-vis drug policy. That is absolutely insane and completely inappropriate to the target audience (expecting ADHD people to stay on top of all those moving pieces just to get their f-in prescription that you take forever.
I wonder if you could make a deal with your doc to double/triple the dosage but he'll only refill it every 2 months or...God-forbid -> 3 months like is normal everywhere else
I feel so sorry for you bud. Best of luck. I hate having to call the Pharmacy every month to tell them I want my meds bc they're controlled. Seriously. Just assume I want them. 🥸
I don't think anyone is ever gonna get around that part (calling pharm to confirm what you want). Its never gonna be that easy and magically appear for you (unless you do mail order or something) but it sounds like it particularly tricky where OP is.
That’s illegal is “drug free freedom land”
