Anyone else suffering from the Adderall shortage?

Is the DEA or big pharma to blame? Demand exceeds supply.

I’m suppose to go back to immediate release Adderall, but nobody has it in stock.  Now I gotta start from square one.  Again. 

Switching ADHD meds is not like trading Tylenol for Advil.  Each brain and body respond differently.  It’s especially tricky if you have Bipolar I or II.  Kong-kong’s monthly supply of Focalin XR is more than $159 with insurance coverage.

And a hearty fuck you to the abusers who are keeping the real patients—me and my sons—from having access to the meds we legitimately need.
