That's not a thing. Nobody is getting grilled coming in early for their stimulant medications. They just say "come back in a couple days" and "have a nice day." I've filled multiple stimulant meds in a period of 2 weeks from the same doc and same pharmacist. Neither care (I dumped out a drug that had side effects so I needed something else).
If people double up, after they run out they just don't have pills for a few days until they get another fill.
- munk-a 4y agoThat's honestly pretty much what I said: if you run out and need to refill early it's a struggle. A lot of ADHD medications come with strong withdrawl symptoms so "don't have pills for a few days" for me will mean... day 1: sleep for like twenty hours straight and miss work, day 2: have massive headaches all day and miss work, day 3+: maybe be able to attend work? Certainly struggle to actually perform my job duties. So running out of meds is something that's highly disruptive to my life and I'll always try and minimize gaps if they do occur.
