    My ADHD meds so I don’t have to go without it for a month every couple of years due to shortages.

      If you ever have a few days to burn, throw your bottle behind the fridge or some other physically difficult to access place, haha. Worked for me but ymmv. If you’re lucky, you’ll forget you even have it thanks to the induced object impermanence 🙃

      Can you ask your Dr to slightly increase the dose and just retain the extra units for this purpose?

        I already build up a small backlog by forgetting it on weekends which tends to smooth things out when there are brief shortages. Already on the highest dose as well.

        Unfortunately, every couple of years it is difficult to fill for nearly two months and there just aren’t enough leftovers to cover the gap.

          Do think about seeing if you can get yourself on (not necessarily prescribed at) a lower dose, get your partner if you have one to put it in your drink and ask them not to tell you if they shorted you so you can see if its possible to function on a lower dose

            I already went through the process of determining the proper dose, thanks.

    Probably something like adderall. Although morphine would be tempting since supposedly it’s not that bad for your health long term compared to something like meth; the main problem for people seems to be running out.

          Wish I could share with you. Got a vial and a bunch of gel tabs and some blotter and then my anxiety skyrocketed. So now it’s just living in a cool dark place. I’ll get better one day.

            That’s nice of you to say. It will definitely get better one day. Doing things with my hands helps mine some. Do things you enjoy.

              Thank you :3

              I gotta quit drinking. I’m certain that’s fully the problem.

              I hope you fall into some awesome dose soon.

                Best decision I ever made.

                I’ll still smoke some weed and occasionally (rarely) other things, but next month marks 4 years without alcohol and holy shit life is so much better.

                It was tough at first, but entirely worth it.

    Dupixent, my mom has Purigo Nodularous and it’s basically torture. Still trying to get the meds cleared to be covered for her, they’re over $1k per shot and she needs it like once a week or something.

      Its always so touching when people say something purely medical for a loved one who has difficulty accessing it. Good sign of actual love and concern for another human being
