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.

    I'm not sure, but I don't think this shortage is effecting strattera. Strattera/atomoxetine is a non-stimulant drug that can aleviate adhd symptoms. It's still worth pursuing a dianosis.
