I’m in Virginia and this last refill was the first time I’ve had an issue in a long time. I take adderall and it seemed like all the pharmacies ran out at the same time. I was out for about a week and the struggle was real. I had to be hyper focused on every little thing I was thinking or doing to make sure that I wasn’t meandering way off track. There was a lot of talking to myself... “What are you doing?” “Is that why you came in here?” “You’re supposed to be ordering tampons, not bunny themed stationary.” You get the picture 😅
I'm in England and this is the first month I've managed to get hold of my modified release methylphenidate without issue since I started taking it 6 months ago. Trying to manage meds is yet another drain on the executive functions and emotional regulation that we can't really afford, especially when we've run out!😣 Apparently the issue is even worse in Ireland. Do you have any insight into what's behind it? I'm tempted to Google it but I've been down a FB rabbit-hole for the past hour after someone sent me a link and I really must get dressed! 😅
