It's not a supply issue.

Apparently, every controlled prescription requires approval from some corporate office, and they haven't replied to my pharmacist's requests. I have to follow up every day but I often forget to.

Something about my physician's DEA number conflicts with Walmart's database. I'm never told the details. It happens nearly every time.

If I finally get it filled on the 12th, a couple days from now, I'll have to wait until December 12th to request again. That means, effectively, I get a 30-day supply every ~42 days.

I'm coming to the end of a three-day weekend. I had nothing but free time and a dozen creative TankieTube projects on my mind's desk that would have brought me joy to work on. However, because I've been rationing myself only three capsules per week, I lost all that time to attention traps on the internet. I'm grieving it.

    I genuinely see no good reason why adderall and other ADHD meds shouldn’t be available behind the counter without even having a prescription

    If people who don’t “need” them take them sometimes, truly who the fuck cares? There are way worse things they could be doing.

    Put them behind the counter so you have to talk to the pharmacist and they can make sure you know what you’re doing, and then just let it be.
