Not an answer but a question. I don’t have ADHD, so I lack any experience here. What’s the idea behind a system that puts people with ADHD on a perpetually recurring 30 day deadline to renew their pills? Isn’t that a bit like putting the obesity clinic at the back of the McDonald’s?
- ldayley 4y agoAmphetamine-based drugs are Scheduled substances in the US and other countries, so they keep a tight grip on supply. I've been able to get as much as a 90 day supply at once however, that was handy.
- skrebbel 4y agoYeah but, why can’t a psychiatrist sign a patient up for monthly delivery? Or something like that? Like a SaaS but for adderall?
- krono 4y agoFunny you ask, that is not ideal to say the least.. It has caused unnecessary stress and I've had to do a few days without meds several times during Covid when I wasn't able to go pick them up due to the limited pharmacy openings. Luckily I have an awesome and very understanding GP who stretched my prescription to 90 days permanently. As I understand it there's no hard limit here in The Netherlands, but this is about the maximum he can get away with in this case.

It does suck, but I do see it at least a bit of a "this is why we can't have nice things" rather than just "Assholes make it harder for me to get my meds"
