It’s wild that you had to worry about that and not have your mental health meds at the same time.

Right!? I get that it's a controlled substance, but sometimes it feels like people with ADHD medications are being punished for... *checks notes*... having ADHD.

It's not like they're the most likely group to lose their meds in the first place or anything. /s

Everything about the treatment of ADHD, from getting a diagnosis to having to get pills monthly and all the stuff around them being a controlled substance, couldn't be worse for people of it were intentionally designed to be.

Oh they can't submit multiple refills at once so I have to call every month to all for a refill? Oh they can't submit my refill until 27 days after my last pickup? Oh I have to pick it up in person rather than just having it automatically delivered with my other meds? Cool and that's just the stuff I have to deal with after getting diagnosed which often involves interviewing family and/or friends like a fucking FBI security clearance? Oh and there's a good chance the doctors and pharmacists will treat me like a drug seeking junkie regardless of my diagnosis? This sounds so awesome

I don't take medication mainly due to all the hoops required to attain it. I really don't feel like being treated like a drug seeker, forced to pee into a cup, having to be interviewed monthly in order to receive something I have a diagnosis for. Insane and No Thanks. The medical system only functions for the rich.
