I just realized that last month was ADHD awareness month and I forgot. Ironic isn't it? Share your stories of stuff you remembered way too late!

The medication shortage has had me acutely aware of my ADHD this past month, does that count?

Ah that sucks, I personally went from ritalin to medikinet because of availability and I didn't notice big difference, LP for both. Maybe that's an option for you? (like really same effect at same dosage, maybe a little less longer but like concerta was tottaly different in comparison)

I'm an Elvanse (Vyvanse for Americans) user, unfortunately. I don't tolerate Methylphenidate well (they made me try like four different versions of it first before they'd give me the Elvanse) and as far as I know there is a shortage on just about all Dexamphetamine based medications.

I spent 2 hellish years without meds because I lost my family doctor. Keep strong and ask a friend to remind you forcefully weekly to check your bills. Good luck.
