ADHD memes

Pfft you think that's bad, what about having to remember to contact your doctor for refills?

Every fucking month.

Now I've got a kid who is on stimulants too. Bad enough I gotta remember to call my doc, now I have to remember to call his, too.

And worse, I'm on Vyvanse 40mg and he's on Adderall ER 10mg. These are both blue-and-white capsules. I freak out every time I give him meds that I'm accidentally giving him mine.

He has one left. I need to call his doctor. But instead I'm thinking of making a meme about it.

But if either (or god forbid, both) of us go unmedicated, we set each other completely off. We are so alike it's uncanny, and I have no idea how to deal with myself from the outside. I was handled with verbal abuse so I learned to internalize everything. That's something I try very, very hard to not pass down.

Update: I called the doctor, they are submitting a refill. Thanks op for reminding me, kinda.

Oh! And the pill is highly controlled and has constant shortages, so it takes quite a bit of effort to get refills.

At least my Adhd Doctor believes me when I tell him that I'm forgetting to take the pills all the time. My previous Gynecologist insisted that the birth control pill is perfect for me and that "Remembering to take it every day isn't that hard ☺️". I did a month of that shit (forgot a good fourth of the pills) and switched doctors to one who was willing to immediately put in a bc implant :')

It's no sickness, there's no cure. You mean treatment.

And after the effects of the previous pill has expired, usually!

And some of them i hear you have to take in the morning, but very specifically after eating breakfast. Like we're some miracle being that eats every meal

I'd say change that to treatment rather than cure.

And add the fact that it's nearly impossible to get regularly due to what is now obviously intentional shortages and the strict controls combined with PBMs restricting the ability to shop around for places with it in stock. So you can't set up a regular reminder to take it or even actually take it regularly even with a reminder.

"cure" my ass

"Cure" yes, famously cures require you to pay for upkeep of them every day for the rest of your life. Like a subscription to being normal that you're required to pay in order to hold down a job. On top of the other subscriptions you have to pay to live and work.

Oh and it deadens your emotions, messes up your sex drive, makes you emotionally volatile as it wears off everyday, and makes you an insomniac.

"Cured!"

You find it hard to remember things and focus on doing things? You should do meth about it.

After breakfast*

Oh, and a consistent exercise routine helps a ton too. And so does keeping a consistent sleep schedule. And so does minimizing stress. And minimizing shame regarding your symptoms.

Any idea how you actually get those in Serbia?

I got a pillbox with an alarm on it which yells at me until I take my meds. Works pretty well!
