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 😔
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.
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.
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.
YAY psych appointment day, the day I get to call every pharmacy in the city to find out who has Adderall in stock. FUN.

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
There's still an #adderallshortage here in the US and it's wild that I have to call around to different pharmacies in the area to be told they're out.
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.
Only a few minutes into listening to The #AdderallShortage episode of #TodayExplained podcast, and I'm already so pleased that they are telling the story of what it's like for those of us who are suffering right now due to a lack of medication. Thank you for telling our stories, @Vox !

“Due to the shortage no dosage amounts are available in the Central Valley right now”
Pharmacy operator seemed surprised when I thanked him for confirming that I had done nothing wrong and that it was purely a shortage issue.
I’m trying out being British and drinking earl grey with a splash of oat milk. Hopefully supply comes back eventually??
Someone who’s more academically-connected than I am should should do a study on if the #Adderall shortage has led to any affects in unemployment statistics.

The shortage announced in October is still ongoing, and it’s making patients, providers, and psychiatrists’ lives much more difficult.

Guess whose pharmacy is all out of Focusyn with no estimate of when the backorder will be resolved?
This Adderall shortage is the WORST. I've been on a generic, and even that is backordered now. The pharmacy said I should call around to other pharmacies to see if they have it in stock, and then notify my dr. that I need a new scrip at that pharmacy. Bruh, do you know how much executive function that requires? Which I don't have without my meds? Would you ask a person who needs crutches to go through an obstacle course before you'd provide them?
