Once again I messed the pill count and didn’t renew my prescription in time sol I’ll be riding this coming week dry… thanks stupid US medical system.

UPDATE: I had to pay out of pocket. $120 because my doc didn’t fill some random paper so I could get the meds, but insurance won’t cover it. It takes 6 months to get an appointment with my doc. I saw him last week and he said he would send a refill, he did t. My pharmacy the requested after I called to check. No go. I called the nurse and asked — automated voicemail. I’m done. I’m done I’m done.

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. 🥸
