My ADHD brain waiting for the ADHD meds shortage to end.

Too bad the DEA won't stop fucking with us. At some point it has to be considered discrimination of a protected class.

Apparently, there's a good stock of methylphenidate cr right now in my area. Might want to see if your psych can call the pharmacy and check.

I just take my meds then stare at my phone for an hour. Lol.

Not sure if Ritalin has similar effects in this sense as Adderall, but I used to run into a problem where I'd wake up, take my meds, get ready and head out the door, then suddenly the most urgent need to #2. I was attending community college at the time, and parking was beyond terrible there, so I'd arrive at like 6:30a, only to find most of the restrooms still locked! Fun times.

@QualifiedKitten @BackOnMyBS @adhd this is a stimulant thing. It happens with lots of different stimulants.

Coffee is a pretty infamous culprit.

Ritalin doesn't do that to me. It's super smooth. I barely notice I've taken anything. Instead, I'm just able to focus, think things through with patience, and enjoy what I'm working on.

Psychedelics can make me have the most intense bowl movements.

That’s why I do the short-acting dose on my first alarm and just go back to bed for like 15-30m

Same but Strattera for me.

Replace "ritalin" with Adderall and this meme is perfect for me.

I havent done elvanze for months BECAUSE IT ISNT AVAILABLE SOMEHOW!?!

That sucks! I use a Walgreens for my pharmacy. Tho they wont tell me what they have in stock, they are cool with my psychiatrist calling them to see what they have available. Lately, there's been a good stock of methylphenidate CR (extended release Ritalin) in my area. Hope that helps!
