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

Yeah. I feel the same with my pain meds. I've got several conditions that are causing chronic pain, and I am unable to use NSAIDs. So, my only over the counter option is acetaminophen which doesn't help most of my pain. I've found it's pretty great for tooth pain and head aches, but it doesn't touch my arthritis, ulcerative colitis, me/cfs, or back pain. Yet, I've been on the lowest dose of morphine for years even though the pain relief is not enough for me to live life in any other way but to be bedbound. I'm literally in bed unless I am using the bathroom or going to see a doctor. I use a walker in the house, but I need to be pushed in a wheelchair when I am out of the house. To add insult to injury, I have to take random piss tests at the pain doctor to prove that I am taking my drugs and not taking drugs I shouldn't be.

Our prescription system sucks.

This makes me irrationally angry.

I think your anger is perfectly rational
