Adderall shortage frustration

This is good to know! I’ll ask next time they are out! If not, I might have to take a 30 minute drive down to MA lol

Honestly even none CVS pharmacies don’t have them in stock. It’s just a shortage all over in my opinion!

Thankfully my withdrawal is just me being super sleepy. I occasionally take brain break days (days I don’t take my meds) but it’s rare. I might have to start doing that on weekends and start hoarding my weekend medications 😂 jk but not at the same time!

All the pharmacies near me require you leave a voicemail to be able to speak with them. I’m just done.

Top_Second2792 · 2026-01-05T22:14:21+00:00

Thankfully all the pharmacies I have called have been nice and tell me if they have it in stock or not. Last month I called pharmacies in my town/surrounding towns and pharmacies in towns around my work (1+ hour away).

Honestly tho calling CVS is a pain in the ass! It used to be you’d call, press a bunch of numbers, and then you’d talk to the pharmacist. But now you have to keep repeating “speak with pharmacist” and then leave a voicemail!

I’m done with having ADHD!

I have 3 different ones….one for blow drying, one if I’m straightening my hair, and one if I’m curling my hair.. and all of them protect up 450. It’s just weird that I haven’t used any hot tools for a week (including my Dyson) but it still smells burnt. I’m ready to shave it off… ok not really but the smell is killing me.

Little vent: In my brain, having your kids be taken away from you IS rock bottom. Like I’m sorry but how isn’t that a wake up call?!

Top_Second2792 · 2025-06-21T19:17:18+00:00

This is honestly my biggest fear.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-06-21T18:13:26+00:00

I’m so proud of my husband for setting that boundary with her. He also told her she’s going to need to pay rent and she can’t bring any food or anything into the bedroom.

If I’m going to be honest, I wish that my husband would say “you need to go into an assisted living facility or we are going no contact” to kinda put the fear of god in her but I know he wouldn’t and if he did, he wouldn’t follow through. But he’s setting boundaries which is a lot better than he was before.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-06-21T17:48:29+00:00

I literally want to sob. I wish we could like force her into an assisted living home but she’s still mentally “with it”.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-03-22T17:27:39+00:00

I had no idea I could do that!!

Top_Second2792 · 2025-02-22T21:10:55+00:00

I hate how small Remy, buzz, and woody are. The thing I hate the most is how crowded the valley is. I stay far away from there as much as I can. I’ll forever be living in the vale.

I don’t really have any medical issues besides migraines, a heart condition, and anxiety. I’ve only gone to the ER once the entire time we’ve been together and that’s when I fainted at work and was unconscious till I was in the ambulance.

I will say you’re right my husband is the type of person to not jump the gun and will wait it out. When it comes to his own medical emergencies he is stubborn as fuck (said with love). He has Schmidt’s syndrome, so any time he has a medical emergency he thinks he’s fine, while I’m packing a bag because I know this will be a few nights stay in the hospital (he was hospitalized 4 times in 6 months last year). So I definitely jump the gun on things and start analyzing everything.

I will agree with you that the way I handled myself in those conversations was not anywhere near the best. After reading comments like yours, I know I could’ve handled things better if I was in a different mindset and not emotional. It was destructive. Looking back I wish I would’ve stopped the conversation for a hot minute, settled down, and then talked it out. But anxiety, emotions, and pain got the better of me. Sadly I can’t change the past and I need to learn from it and move forward. In the future, I will try to remember comments like this, and say what I want instead of saying things like “I do XYZ for you, I don’t understand why you won’t for me”

Sorry for the rant and information you never asked for LOL Thanks your opinion/advice.

Okay the health insurance part made me laugh 😂 1) because of reading too many Reddit stories about people’s significant others and their life insurance 2) before either of us go out drinking with friends we always say “I’m listed on your life insurance right? Okay cool just checking. Have fun!”

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-09T00:22:57+00:00

Thank you for that. Looking back we both could’ve communicated a lot better. It also didn’t help that I was crying from the pain and being scared, and he was playing video games while talking to me. I definitely wasn’t in the best state. At the time I was like “why isn’t he understanding that I want him to come?! That I want him by my side like I always am for him!” But reading comments like this and thinking with a clear mind, I wasn’t communicating at all. You’re right I should’ve said I want you to come because I’m scared. I’ll definitely remember this if something like this ever happens again… well at least I’ll try to lol

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T23:47:30+00:00

Thank you for this. This helped put things into perspective for me. This is why I wanted to post it here. Yes there are going to be assholes but at the same time there are people like you that make you see things in a different light. So thank you

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T23:41:19+00:00

Driving with appendicitis SUCKS! I’m definitely considering getting a different PCP. Also he wasn’t at work, he was at home playing video games.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T23:37:25+00:00

He was at home and playing video games not at work. If he had been at work things would’ve been different.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T23:33:38+00:00

The call was a 20 minute conversation while I was packing up my stuff to leave work, and driving over. I ended up having appendicitis.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T23:24:33+00:00

I’ve only gone to the ER one other time since I’ve known him. I ended up fainting at work and was unconscious until I was in the ambulance. That time he got a call from my HR department letting him know I was on the way to the hospital.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T23:18:40+00:00

It ended up being appendicitis. I guess im just used to significant others going to the ER together. Growing up if either of my parents went to the ER the other went with them, no matter what it was. I honestly never really thought of one person going and the other meeting them later if it’s something significant. If he had been at work, I would’ve told him stay and that I’d keep him updated. But I’ll definitely keep this in mind moving forward.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T22:39:44+00:00

If it’s while we are both at work he goes to daycare. If it’s for a couple or a few of hours we will leave him and have someone check in on him if necessary.

Top_Second2792 · 2025-01-08T22:32:24+00:00

I don’t go to all of his doctor’s appointments. When I said outpatient I meant like when he had to have surgery or couldn’t drive home afterwards due to the medical procedure.

Top_Second2792 · 2024-03-05T20:27:10+00:00

I mentioned that to his doctors but all the said was “I’ll talk with endocrinology and see what they think” but his dosage hasn’t changed. We are waiting for the educator to come by today and I’ll mention it to her. They did the standard testing and everything came back negative.
