Got the dreaded backorder text for concerta 27 two weeks ago. No change. Talked to my prescriber who called in Ritalin 30 LA today. It's backordered also.
Six tabs left and it's time to start the pharmacy phone tag game. Win and you get meds before you run out. Lose and you're out of meds, losing the executive function required to find your meds 😎🤙
It's been two years now how is this still a thing
I don't envy people who need stimulant medication, this fucking country's obsession with making sure no one "feels good" when they aren't supposed to is killing people who now can't get their meds because apparently all psychoactive substances need to be under a lock and key with round the clock surveillance and arbitrary restrictions on who can access them because gasp someone might use it go get high!
Fuck all of that, chauvinistic ass medical system feeding bodies right into the prison industrial complex, where doctors turn into cops the moment you need a chemical on their naughty list.
Another extra stupid thing is that as far as stimulants go, it's less harmful and less addictive than caffeine or nicotine
That's what I was gonna say like do people even abuse these things? Concerta or whatever? Like I think it's just kids using it to study oh no
Concerta and other extended release formulations are hard to "abuse"(damn I hate that word in the context of drugs). Normal pills of methylphenidate on the other hand can be crushed and snorted, but the effect is shit and the comedown is worse than coke's. Not saying that there aren't any MPH addicts, but come on... Get a cool drug to ruin your life!
