> Few psychiatrists/doctors were willing to prescribe meds to an adult.
Never had an issue with this and I have frequently switched doctors. I'd suggest finding a prescribing nurse practitioner. It's hard to find a psychiatrist without waiting six months for the first appointment.

I drop three prescriptions off at a time. Or it's called in and then I call for refills. If they don't have it in stock they can probably order it.
> You can only ever get one month prescription at a time (with no refills), and have to contact your doctor every month. Not too early, not too late.
I've had five or six psychiatrists. All of them prescribe 3 months in advance after the prescription is stabilized.

Your experience doesn't match mine, which doesn't match Jessica's (the host of "How to ADHD"), which doesn't match others' from the ADHD subreddit (for example, drug tests which hasn't been brought up before).
