I think the importance of these meds is understated because stimulants have greatly reduced my anxiety and increased my overall quality of life. When I take them, shit just finally quiets down in my head and I can focus on what I need to do.
But a damn agency (formed because the government hates black and poor people) is keeping others from a marginally better life in a capitalist hellscape. Pure dystopian poetry. Couldn’t make this up if you tried
The really stupid thing is that pharmacies can’t order directly from the companies lol. They have to order through middlemen.
I suppose it somewhat makes sense because you don’t want to order medicine in bulk at a vulnerable location like a store, and the manufacturers don’t want spend a ton on shipping just for a few bottles at a time.
But then you have like 500 different middlemen who price things differently. It’s like gas stations for medicine.
