Adderall is still nearly impossible to get!!

I've heard there's a shortage maybe, in the US? Which sucks, I'm using a different medication, but I've heard Adderall is a gamechanger.

Ritalin didn’t do a thing for me, but Adderall helps immensely.

I e heard this is a problem in other countries as well! I’ve been super lucky- I’ve only had to hunt for it once.
Good to see you around

Thanks Nebs! It’s been a minute!

I have to use a local hospital pharmacy for my prescription. They aren’t open evenings so I have to go to work late when I need to get my meds.

I've been juggling with methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine since dg 1,5 yrs ago. Both are helping in their own ways. But after adding bupropion to the equation, there's a sign of balance in the horizon. Biggest problem is to remember to take the meds at the right time...

Shortage on Elvanse on this side of the world too. Should be passing by the end of October...

I take bupropion for generalized anxiety. It’s a great med with nearly no side effects!

 

[Deadbed1968]

I totally agree on timing. Morning doses are fine. I always forget afternoon and evening doses!

I would do the same. I don’t take it every single day so I usually have extra at the end of the month which comes in handy if there is a problem refilling.

I used to not take it every day, but I find it also helps with my depression.

It's been a game changer after all the ssri:s, snri:s and other anti-everythings that have been frustratingly non-affective for decades.

 

[PlanetaryNebula]

Same!

I can’t say I accomplish great things but I can at least get out of the house in less then 3 trips back inside

For me it kinda turbocharges my antidepressant and the Adderall. The 3 really work well together.

Or slamming your shoulder into every doorframe!

This! Didn't take the afternoon and evening dosages, and now haven't been able to sleep.

What is the deal with that!?! This is where I learned about it affecting special awareness. I always just thought I was clumsy

Same! I first found out about it on TicTok! I totally do this all the time!

That, or tear belt loops of my pants when they catch on the door latch!

Idk if this was adhd related but one time on a trail ride, we had to jump up an embankment, but duck a branch immediately on the descent and my bra got hooked on the saddle horn. I had to take the reins in my mouth so I could use my hands to fee myself

Ok, I would have paid good money to see that!

I only got 1 side effect from it, and it was something I couldn't live with. It kept me wound up 24/7. I barely slept for 4h of light sleep, and it didn't ease over time, even on the contrary. (This was over 10 years ago.)

Around the world I think. And they keep postponing the time when it should be available again. But at least last month 30mg Elvanse for kids was apparently still available, thought the adult 30mg version was out of stock. Weird! It just needs a different prescription.
