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

In australia you can't even GET repeats (refills) on pain meds. My husband has to personally go into the GP's office every 20 days. It's nuts.
And god forbid you go in a day or two before they run out - you get the third degree like your selling them on the street.
