Aaaaaand sometimes is a "controlled substance" so you have to get a new prescription every month. No 90 day supply, refills, or auto renew. 🥲
What's that? You can message through the app to refill all the other ones easily but not the magic one requires calls and in-person visits to remember and juggle? Cool cool cool.
Fortunately they can write up 3 Rx and then send to the pharmacy every month until my next appt.
Of course my pharmacy can't get the stuff due to the shortage so I have been without for 2wks now. It's a process to have the Rx sent over to a different pharmacy. Easy for someone normal. But ADHD without meds? Yeah.
But with CVS at least, they won’t schedule out the fill, only place the second and third on hold on your profile. So you have to call and ask them to fill it 2/3 months , can’t do that part on the app either. So to have a continuous supply, you’ve got to do go doctors appointment, then pick up meds on first month (assuming no complications, there are always complications)… then the next two months you have to call like 28 days after your last pickup, ask them to fill, and pickup within 2/3 days.
I fucking hate this, and I moved so now my doctor is 30 minutes away. I could find a new doctor but, you know... adhd
I can deal with calling to get a new prescription every month but all the other bullshit that comes with my medication being a controlled substance is what I fucking hate. Oh we are sorry but your prescription is out of stock because the DEA is worried about diversion... Oh and don't call other pharmacies because you are shopping pharmacies and now we are going to flag you...
Stratera actually isn't a controlled substance since it's not a stimulant (it's an NRI), but my Ambien is, so I know the pain. It's literally easier for me to get legal weed in multiple states around me than it is to get Ambien, which I've been taking for like 20 years.
I have to renew mine every 28 days... Because it's so incredibly dangerous that they don't trust the public with any longer prescriptions. I hate it but ahhh, the things I do for that juicy methylphenidate...
That's harsh. It's controlled where I'm from but that just means I can't refill on day 89.
Oh my God dude it's such a pain! Also I can't refill on day 30. I have to be completely out, but the pharmacies don't open until 9. So if you need to be a work at 9, you get to pick between being late for work or nit taking medication. 🙃
You can get it for 90 days. At least you can get Adderall for 90 days at a time.
Where? I get my prescription renewed every 90 days, but it has to be sent as 3 separate prescriptions, and you have to wait at least 28 days in between filling each one.
I’m in Idaho. I started on Adderall last year and it gets called in for a 90 day supply each time. My doctor told me that 90 was the max he could do for a controlled substances. The restriction on refilling mine is basically 2 - 3 days before the 90 days is up.

NY has a weird rule where 90 days is fine for children but not adults. At least for Concerta, which works best for me. 🙁
