As an ADHDer who desperately needs at least one dose/day to be my very best, Telehealth scares the bejeesus out of me.
I tried Cerebral on a 1 month-free promo for a refill and an ESA waiver (r/LifeProTips) and the guy I talked to asked zero questions after "Tell me why you think you have ADHD" and signed off on everything. A lot of false diagnoses or rushed diagnoses led to an overprescribing epidemic.
Now, that's not to say there aren't a TON of currently undiagnosed folx out there who greatly benefit from stimulants, but the exponential increase of prescriptions isn't because of any sudden increase in actually-diagnosed individuals.
And with that said, the FDA and DEA's regulations on production caps and distribution laws have strained the system just not exclusively because of the drug maker's and distributor's ability or lack thereof to produce a larger volume of these medications at a faster rate. So in short: a little column A + a little column B, if you will.
Can you tell I took my afternoon dose today? Lol
Have a great week to those who read this ramble.

They are really quick too. My Doc is out of state, called it in this afternoon and it was ready in an hour. Glad this helps!

i just wish they'd go back to their pre-covid hours. it sucks going home from a show around midnight and they're closed when they used to be open until 3am before that. (or at least medford was)

Oof, yeah you make a great point.
Going to leave it up a little longer to be kind, then take it down.

This is nice of you, but I hope you realize you're blowing up your spot. These pharmacies have inventory because they haven't been inundated yet. If a lot of people see this, and you help them out through spreading awareness, next week/month these pharmacies might not have the inventory to fill your rx.
This is a nice thing to do, just making sure you've considered the consequence!
Edit: Source: worked in a pharmacy during a similar time, we got highlighted like this and were out of stock of the sought after meds in all strengths by the next morning.

No it’s not lol don’t go spreading misinformation. Demand rose a shit ton during the pandemic because telemedicine quacks are overprescribing and manufacturers can’t keep up. Someone below posted a nice link on an article. I work in the industry. Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere since A) they aren’t helping OP and B) it’s bogus.

Mayor McCarthy has been weaselly about shutting down Moody Street and said she had no power now that COVID was over, and now it's solely the traffic commission's power.
Worth noting she's being challenged as Mayor this year by one of the councilors. Said councilor is heavily in support of closing down Moody Street for outdoor dining again.

I mean kind of but it’s not wrong, the DEA and FDA do enforce caps on the production of pharmaceutical amphetamines. Meanwhile crystal meth is easier to obtain than pharmaceutical amphetamines in some regions. It’s pretty absurd.
