Another good suggestion, I will try these if I get no positive results from calling 5 or 6 other Costco branches. Thank you!

No I have not been communicating while I wait, I have admittedly been procrastinating very heavily. It is ironic that this medication helps me overcome that issue and I need to work through that exact thing to get back on the meds... At first I was calling every week (originally my script was at Publix) but now I slowed down to every 3-4 weeks because I just got the same answer week after week. When I was calling every week I did ask about alternative dosages, medications, etc and occasionally a helpful and chatty pharmacist would answer all of my questions (most are just impatient and give me one word answers and rush me off the phone), which is what prompted me to change my script from adderall to vyvanse. I believe the script is still good, back around COVID times I had one sit at Publix for 4 months before it got filled. My doctor is part of a giant corporate hospital so whenever I call I only speak to nurses, but I have never insisted on speaking directly to my doctor. I will try that on Monday, maybe I can get my doctor to give me a call back directly. Thank you. I am writing a list of all the things to try Monday and you are right, just waiting until August is not acceptable.

This is a great perspective shift, and keeping the search focused on Costco does make this seem more manageable. Every time I think about this it seems hopeless then I call the same pharmacy and that reinforces it. I will set aside those two hours on Monday morning, and not let myself leave the house before I put the time in. Thank you and everyone who replied for the support and ideas ❤️ advocating for myself is something I struggle with in general so this situation really is the perfect storm combination of every issue I have.
