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

    It's been months since I got the oblong ones... Come to think of it, I feel like it hasn't been working the same. I left some of my clothes in the washing machine the other day... I don't think I've ever done that.

    Edit: I take methylphenidate, not what you said. Isn't amphetamine salts just pharmaceutical grade meth?

      Pharmaceutical grade speed, not meth. Though methamphetamine is actually also a schedule 2 drug and can (theoretically) be prescribed by a doctor.

      I think it's adderall IIRC I never got the name brand, I just know what's on the bottle.

      It's really difficult to find information about this. I know there have been numerous recalls of ADHD meds lately so I wouldn't be surprised if both our meds get one soon (hopefully!).
