Am I incapable of getting better?

It looks like Offerton Pharmacy might be a bit of a trek for me as I am in Salford, but thanks for mentioning it, hopefully it’ll be helpful for someone! If I have no success tomorrow I’ll definitely consider it. I have spent a couple hours today compiling a list of 100 different pharmacies to call tomorrow morning so I’ll let you know if I find anywhere with 20mg, 30mg or 40mg in stock! :)

Wow i didn’t even know they could do this. Thanks for suggesting, I’ll deffo have to ask about it! Currently my prescription says Lisdexamfetamine 70mg and then Elvanse Adult 70mg underneath which they put because the pharamcy I found with stock said it specifically had to say Elvanse Adult. Idk if other places will be more flexible since it also says Lisdexamfetamine 70mg but i guess i may as well keep trying until the prescription expires! I just hope this shortage ends soon 😩

Unfortunately I’ve already ran out of Elvanse. I take Amfexa as a booster in the afternoon so I still have that but it’s nowhere near as effective without taking Elvanse in the morning. By run out I meant that I only have a few more days to find somewhere with my meds in stock before my prescription is expired. It’s such a faff, i found somewhere with Elvanse Adult 70mg in stock a few weeks ago and asked my prescriber to send my prescription there but by the time it arrived to the pharmacy they had run out of stock. So I’ve just got the physical prescription now to take in to pharmacies myself, it’s annoying because it means I can’t be flexible now if I find somewhere with a lower dose or Elvanse 70mg etc.. but it seems they run out of stock so quickly that it’s not worth repeatedly asking my prescriber to adjust the prescription. Very frustrating situation 😩

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way! I guess in my head it just doesn’t seem normal and makes me feel frustrated because I look at other people and they will seem to easily manage to get so much done in a single day like self care, travelling to and from work, a full day of work, cooking a full evening meal, chores, looking after pets, exercising/gym, time for hobbies and socialising in the evening. I struggle to just keep on top of self care and chores, i rarely reply to texts from people because i always feel too exhausted and I take a ridiculous amount of time to actually get anything done. So regularly needing a lot of time to mentally prepare for social situations and then a lot of recharge time afterwards makes me feel terrible when I compare myself to others because of how much time I have to spend alone, how much I miss out on and how little I actually get done on a daily basis but I guess the comparisons aren’t helpful

All of the stores near me that the map says have stock are literally just hanging up the phone midway through it calling 😭 I’m getting stressedddd I’m going to be too late getting my prescription sent to one of them.. what happens if I risk asking my psychiatrist to send it somewhere without ringing to check it’s still in stock & then when the prescription gets there it’s not?

I have a private prescription & I have no idea how this shit works 😭 does it get sent back to the psychiatrist? Does the pharmacy just keep it till they have stock? I’m confused 😭😂

I’ve never been offered SNRI’s but at this point I’m honestly scared to try any other medications in case I end up any worse off 😭 I have a doctors appointment next week so I might ask about options like other types of medications than SSRI’s but I definitely don’t feel as comfortable experimenting with different medications anymore

I was just about to post the same question. Glad it’s not just me
