I was under the impression that without peer coaching you couldn’t get a prescription. If state guidelines are at fault how did you find a in state doctor sympathetic? I apologize but I can’t get over the notion it’s drug seeking and/or doctor shopping. I must assume that there was a reason for the doctor not wanting to prescribe you that medication. If state guidelines were the true root why was another doctor amenable? Using performance enhancing drugs is a losing game. It makes it harder for those who wish to use their natural cognitive abilities. In time it forces everyone to dope up.

> I was under the impression that without peer coaching you couldn’t get a prescription. If state guidelines are at fault how did you find a in state doctor sympathetic? I think you’re misunderstanding - I had an existing, active prescription for Vyvanse when I moved into the state. It took me months to find a doctor who would refill it for me. I had already been through years of counseling at that point. > I must assume that there was a reason for the doctor not wanting to prescribe you that medication. If state guidelines were the true root why was another doctor amenable? The state “looked more closely” at doctors who prescribe stimulants. Basically none of the doctors I spoke to in the beginning was willing to add another prescription to their practice because of this. > Using performance enhancing drugs is a losing game. It makes it harder for those who wish to use their natural cognitive abilities. How does this logic not apply to cardiac drugs? It “makes it harder for those who wish to use their natural cardiac abilities”?

With all due respect, say less things like this. You're wrong -the drugs treat a medical condition. Its not "doping" or "performance enhancing". > It makes it harder for those who wish to use their natural cognitive abilities Our society is full of people enhancing their natural abilities... with things like cars and escalators and calculators. Treating a medical condition is fixing a medical "flaw" but it is NOT some sort of get-ahead scheme. This sort of diminutive language leaves people feeling bad about themselves instead of seeking adequate medical treatment.
