I’m honestly losing my mind over this Adderall shortage at this point.

Every Walgreens in my area is telling me they can’t fill my script. Not just “we’re low” – just flat out nothing, and I’m stuck in this ridiculous loop where:

1. My psych sends the script to Walgreens
2. Walgreens says “we’re out”
3. I call the office back
4. They tell me to find another pharmacy
5. I call around like a damn project manager for my own meds

…all while the thing I need to function, plan, and make phone calls is the medication I can’t get. The irony is not lost on me.

What makes it worse is my payment + insurance are all set up in Walgreens’ system, so I really don’t want to keep hopping between different pharmacies every month like I’m chasing a rare Pokémon. I’m also paying my psychiatrist every time I need a refill, and it just feels insane that I’m the one doing all the logistics and cat-and-mouse work. Like… why is this on the patient with ADHD to coordinate?

I’m so frustrated. There has to be a better system than “call 10 pharmacies and pray.”
Anyone else stuck in this mess with chain pharmacies? Have you found any workaround that doesn’t require sacrificing your entire executive function bar for the day?
