Check the messages and they tell me to fukkin' call the pharmacy. Even though when I placed the refill order it gave me the option to pick it up at the very same pharmacy. I'm going to loving explode.

I had my ADHD meds go on back order for more than three weeks. I ended up having my doctor switch me to a different med because I straight up couldn't find the previous one. She sent in that script same day. Then I got a text from the pharmacy saying it was on backorder lol.

I'm in my 30s and I find this quite distressing. Can old(er) people survive being told the truth of the bureaucracy they've wrought?

ADHD meds have had a supply problem since this time last year and it fuckin' sucks. Manufacturers aren't producing enough to meet demand, so everybody gets to switch to different medications that then also quickly run out of stock. Vyvanse is unavailable? Great, your doctor switched you to Concerta. Oh poo poo, that's unavailable too? How about Adderall? Oops, it's gone. Time to switch back to Vyvanse. Oh, gently caress, that's gone again. We completely understand how hosed up the situation is, but truth of the matter is that pharmacies have gently caress-all to do with the situation; it's entirely the manufacturers. Thanks to them, we get to get screamed at while we suggest your doctor switches your meds for the umpteenth time or send you on a fruitless search for the one bottle of Lisdexamphetamine that was produced this month.

Don't blame our good clean stimmy manufacturers for this poo poo, they need to be given more power to market and distribute their wares, not less.

Don't blame our good clean stimmy manufacturers for this poo poo, they need to be given more power to market and distribute their wares, not less. Yeah, this isn't some "big pharma" scheme. Pharmaceutical companies want money. They make money by making drugs and selling them to people. But for those unaware the DEA sets a quota for each control every year based on what they (cops) feel the American public needs/wants/deserves. This is bad, but it gets worse. They divide the quota among manufacturers based on what they (cops) think each manufacturer can produce. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is difficult and complex, sometimes a manufacturer can't make as much as they want to. I have to give this to free market capitalism: its good at naturally resolving shortages like this. If a manufacturer can't make enough of a product to meet demand, another company will happily step in and fill the need. This happens all the time with non-control drugs. With controlled drugs however another company can't step in and make more, the quota is the quota. Do you think the DEA would step in and reassign quotas to manufacturers that can actually make the drug? lol no, they're cops, and that sounds suspiciously like work. Oh and this system completely failed to stop the opioid overprescription/pill mill crisis of the 2000's that led to the deadliest addiction epidemic in history. On that note, CVS/Walgreens/etc are gun-shy about dispensing controls because in the roaring 2000's a clapped out minivan would pull up to a CVS, an entire extended family would pile out each with a script for oxy IR 30mg from Dr. feelgood in Florida for "low back pain" and CVS would go YEAH SEEMS LEGIT. Now they're paying out multi-billion dollar settlements to various states for the whole opioid crisis they helped cause. I highly recommend people find an independent pharmacy in their area and build a relationship with them. They might not have the online ordering and stuff but they will be far more willing to work with you on important stuff than CVS.

Oh, gently caress, that's gone again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Production_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing Toyota is partially to blame for these supply chain failings. In the 1980s companies would typically have a certain amount of storage dedicated to frequently used parts. If you are building an engine, you can just grab all the parts you need in the back. Toyota noticed that they were spending a lot of money on Warehouses and security to safeguard the components. Their solution was to order the part as close to as when it was needed to save on storage, "Just in Time" so to speak. Other industries noticed this and adopted some of these procedures. Now the whole system is designed to function if components arrive in a timely fashion, if there is any natural disasters that disrupt logistics, you are hosed. For instance, Covid shut down numerous factories. These factories were all in the process of producing parts that were needed for components under construction. For example, there were a bunch of cars that auto manufacturers produced that sat around languishing waiting for semiconductors. So everyone is ordering everything super last minute and acting all surprised when deadlines aren't met. Hopefully they tone back some of the lean philosophies in the future, but I doubt it.
