A Nation Of Prescriptions

People are freaking out around the country about the Adderall shortage. I thought the article I wrote yesterday would answer everything but I was wrong. I live in Los Angeles, California. That being said, I forget I have some kind of country — dysmorphia.

I remember when I moved to Spokane, Washington, I tried going to McDonald’s around 7 pm. Only to find out that literally, everything closes at 6 pm. I was appalled, as a Native Californian. I’m hungry and I have to go home knowing that I’m going to be hungry for a long time.

Just want you to know, I’ve been there, somewhat. Other states are probably more in demand than my state. I’ll help you refill your script.

Call your pharmacy two weeks before your script is due. They’re going to be annoyed but do it anyway.

If you go to CVS for your Adderall, WTF in tarnation are you doing at CVS? Avoid CVS at all costs.

If you live in a state that has Costco, it’s time you transfer your prescriptions there. You don’t have to be a member to use their pharmacy. Costco being “wholesale” usually has better access to products than smaller stores.

When you pick up your prescription, make sure you go during the times your doctor can be contacted. This helps because if they run out of a certain MG, your doctor will need to rewrite the prescription for another MG of an equivalent dosage. 30MG is out of stock? 15mg is good, double it up. But call your doctor of course.

I’m bringing sexy back

Teva Pharmaceuticals is expected to bring a huge batch of 10mg generic Adderall XR. If you’re not taking XR, you might want to be open to it for a little while. The batch should be hitting the shelves before Halloween, at the latest, the first week of November 2022.

Try alternatives like Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine), Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine), or Desoxyn (Methamphetamine).
