    Aaaaaand sometimes is a “controlled substance” so you have to get a new prescription every month. No 90 day supply, refills, or auto renew. 🥲

      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.

      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.

      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.
