      My wife has AuDHD - diagnosed with ADHD about the same time I was (age 30 for her, too). She’s still able to take meds, and yeah, it is a damn struggle every single month.

      And recently, the hospital system her PCP is in changed the rules so that you have to have therapists re-confirm the diagnosis every three months. She already had to drug-test every three months (ironically to make sure it was detected so they know she’s taking them and not selling them… :eyeroll:)

        Yeah my boy friends pharmacy refused to fill his script because they deemed his dose so high and called all the pharmacies around so his doctor had to lower his dose and now it doesn’t do anything for him. Yeah it sucks to have ADHD these days.

            He was on 120 but spread over 12 hours. He was on this for 8 years multiple doctors, multiple pharmacies across 3 States. This was the only pharmacist to have an issue with it.

          Ah, for fucks sake.

          In fairness to pharmacies in general, what many don’t know is that a pharmacist has more medical training than a doctor on medications and how they interact, so doctors do listen to pharmacists on that topic (typically) - and have reason to do so.

          That said, this sounds like bullshit to me. A doctor or psychiatrist probably knows the dosage better imho, so this fucking stinks.

          I’m sorry :(
