there are freakout posts every hour or so on r/adhd. desperate plans to amass a huge petition of signatures, or challenge it legally with a class act. lawsuit, but mostly a lot of despair and disbelief. also some blaming of the so-called undeserved adderall users that are allegedly the official reason for the shortage...and something about tiktok users.

it's bad and capitalism is certainly the reason why. i'd like to understand the nuance of it more though if anyone had some good leftist takes on it.

    Is it just the instant release that is hard to get? I just started taking it and it works much better for me than the extended release.

      I've only ever taken extender release, so I think its hard to get too. Although I take 60mg so that might have something to do with it. People I know who take 10-20mg of XR haven't had problems.
