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.

    there are non stimulant ADHD meds you could try though, like Strattera, which is an SNRI, or things like Concerta/Ritalin which are IMO a lot less addictive than adderall (at least, for me, adderall = horny euphoria + energy and focus, the others were just the latter (but not as good))
