Practice slowly lifting your left foot (clutch) while simultaneously lowing your right foot in a tapping motion (gas) so you have some muscle memory. You’ll feel it “catch” during this process when you finally learn.
Tips- have some finesse… releasing the clutch too fast will cause the care to jerk and then stall out, and stepping too hard on the gas will cause a peel out etc. Need to do both evenly and smoothly (release clutch while gassing).

I live within walking distance. I have never been to a Kelly's. I don't intend to start now.

I wish this was true for my pain meds. Even BMC is on backorder. My doctor even went to the internal hospital pharmacy just to get a better idea of how bad it is. It's bad. Thank you for sharing

Sure but I don’t think the dog owners who lost their pet would stop and think to contact the media. They’d first call shelters, alert the microchip co, vets office and the police station.
But real question, would the media be interested? Is that something they should do? Is there a line to call?
The pessimist in me thinks the media only picked it up bc it was in beacon hill $$. Would they care if it was a lost dog from Lynn?

Pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine actually is used (very rarely) for treatment resistant ADHD. Its trade name is Desoxyn.

I heard the shortage is very significant on the south shore in particular now. It just took me 10 days to find it. Most pharmacies had the name brand, but that’s $360 out of pocket for a month supply.
The shortages are particularly bad right now with lower doses, since people on higher doses are getting prescribed multiples of the lower ones to add up to their dosages. (Ex: if you take 60mg and the pharmacy has 20mg they tell you to get your doc to resend with 20mg 3x daily to take at the same time).

The difference between meth and adderall/vyvanse/Ritalin is like the difference between codeine cough syrup and heroin. They ultimately tickle the same part of your brain but just wildly different strength levels

Adderall IS medically necessary. Especially if you take it for narcolepsy. The general public doesn’t understand the complexity of ADHD, especially inattentive type. It’s not just hyperactive little boys who are impulsive, it is a disorder that can cause significant impacts to quality of life and even life in general for some people.
And it doesn’t just magically go away when you turn 18, in fact more and more women in their 30-40’s are being diagnosed because we were overlooked when we were children in the 90’s since people did think it was just for hyperactive little boys.

You are most likely going to regret this the next time you need to fill your script. You are nice to try and help but everyone and their mother who has been trying to fill their script and can’t will now flood these pharmacies.

They are a north shore thing. Sullivans would have made more sense...than the one in a parking lot in hanover.

Yeah my pharmacy was fine for a while and then in a FB group someone called out how it had been filling their scripts every month without issue. Two weeks later went to fill my script and they were all out. I get people wanting to help out but unfortunately what winds up happening is everyone floods that particular pharmacy and leaves the people who live in that community scrambling to find a pharmacy who can now fill their scripts.

When I moved to Boston 8 years ago I really wanted to like Kelly’s. I love roast beef and always heard they were the best. I gave them about 5 chances, trying a couple different locations. I was disappointed every time. I don’t plan on ever eating at one again.

Just buy meth. Only use it until the pharmacies are restocked. It’s basic science.

Thank god they’re too late, it’s already been sold. Like that, it’s independent. Although I prefer Tony’s

The DEA did not raise production caps for 2023 despite knowing demand has skyrocketed. It's also very convenient that they engineered this shortage right before Vyvanse is about to go generic, forcing a lot of patients to switch to a very expensive alternative so Big Pharma can get one last hit of record profits.
I honestly don't give a fuck if telemedicine is giving scripts to dead people. When's the last time a fucking cop got into med school? Being a fucking moron is a job requirement to become a cop. Show me the DEA agents' medical license. These unelected thugs need to be brought to heel. Drugs won the war on drugs. Send the soldiers packing. Abolish the DEA, they contribute absolutely nothing to society.
It just goes to show how deep the stigma on mental health runs, that y'all think it's acceptable for us to be collateral damage. Imagine if they did this for insulin, or any other medicine that doctors consider medically necessary. These unelected pigs have no right to decide any of this. They are lawless and unaccountable. It took them four months to bother responding to Rep. Spanberger's letters on this topic. They even refused the president's direct orders to reschedule cannabis. Who the fuck do they think they are?

If you enjoy completely unseasoned seafood and live in Dedham, this is exciting.
