My mate's brother was drinking so many energy drinks at one point that he used to down 2 monsters right before going to sleep. This was also during his crippling EVE addiction.

In a way I'm still trying to figure out. In my case since it's a schedule 2 controlled substance I'm explicitly not allowed to refill my script until two days before I run out by law, and even though this part isn't law it's also the policy of every pharmacy near me to not take any script ahead of time, so I have to go to the pharmacy and drop off the script then pick it up later no less than 28 days after filling my last prescription for 30 days worth. Oh and it has to be a physical paper prescription for 30 days worth and no refills, hand-written by a doctor (not an RN or anyone else). At least my doctor is allowed to write three of them at once now and post-date each one, but Jesus is this whole thing bullshit.

Oh and since they can't put the script in the system ahead of time and can't order too much of a schedule 2 controlled substance at once, they're always short on it because they can't do inventory properly, great job! Pro tip for anyone who's on adderall like me tho: switch to the extended release. College kids don't seem to abuse it much at all since it's, well, extended release and not all at once, so it's way more likely to actually be in stock. Also you only have to take one a day instead of two which is nice.

my spouse is on modafinil for narcolepsy and his insurance (medicaid/medicaid provider) needs to authorize it every single time and his doctor's office kept trying to do refills despite knowing this our pharmacy was closing and we wanted to transfer it but we can't until the refills are done. so he called in his refill. days later his insurance said they needed an authorization. he called his doctor, the pharmacy contacted them too. the doctor said they'd take care of it. and then the pharmacy closed.

Yeah I just looked it up and Medicaid pays $0.95 each for 100mg modafinil (and $1.14 for 200mg) so like, under $30 for a month's supply loving christ our medical system is so broken

Then my insurance started requiring prior authorization from my doctor because you stop needing adderall once you turn 23 apparently. Except they wanted authorization every couple months and it would regularly take like two weeks or more for them to process it. I eventually stopped taking it because it was basically impossible to have reliable access to it. The XR version didn't seem to do much for me, unfortunately.

See my psychologist (and later psychiatrist) only settled on me having ADD after I was 23, which means 1) I hosed up a lot earlier in my life in ways that I can say almost definitely were affected by not being medicated for it in retrospect and 2) I get to be in the fun position of proving to doctors and insurance companies ever since that yes, this is a real actual thing, I'm not just selling them or snorting them or whatever, yes I've tried going off them or trying other things, no that doesn't work, look here are signed documents from multiple doctors saying I'm telling the truth, please give me the loving thing I need thank you. My psychologist says she figured out I had it way back in highschool, and thinks I've had it since I was a kid and nobody caught it because I was a super dork who managed to do good enough in school to balance out the stuff I didn't do at all or did badly. And apparently she didn't bring it up in highschool because I had other bigger problems I was dealing with and because "nobody in the world will believe a highschool kid isn't just trying to score drugs, and I didn't trust you not to take all of them at once anyway" which, ok, fair, I was not exactly not trying to do all the drugs I could in highschool.

I want people to have the freedom to smoke and dip and Juul and Snus and shove it up their rear end all or whatever they wish, but I'd also like for people to have access to needed loving medicine too.

On the topic of ADHD thanks to the brilliance of the US medical system my partner wasn't diagnosed until well into adulthood based on the fact they werent previously diagnosed with ADHD. Naturally their first time dropping out of college, bad grades before that or any bad outcomes were things they earned and not the system failing them in ways they're stil paying for.

Yeah I'm currently in the hospital with my third pilonidal cyst (if you don't know what that is let's just say I've given birth and that was less painful than what I'm going through). Doctors have done very painful procedures and even acknowledged how painful it is. I was given a prescription for 6 hydrocodone and then told to basically eat poo poo because my area has been hit hard by the opioid epidemic.

I went through the same (and since I was a teen ashamed of my diseased butt I sat on it for the better part of a year and a half) and they gave me the option of general anesthesia since it was so close to bone. I took the general anesthesia. Spent 2 days post surgery in a numb fugue on an IV of Diclofenac but thats better than feeling the open gash in my butt.

We don't need universal healthcare, I mean, just look at me!

I can still work for now, and that's all that matters!
