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.

ADHD: When you use social media as a scheduler

And gosh forbid they are "out", cause you can only check 3 days before you run out. Nothing like being treated like a criminal because of a medical condition.

I swear to god. This is the part that makes me really angry. Sorry I can't help my invisible medical condition.

Oh I know. Especially with Vyvanse. It's better now but between the generic shortage and then the precursor "shortage", it was bumpy.

God damnit I need to message my doctor. I've been trying to remember for like a week.

Edit: thank you for the reminder, now maybe I won't run out of meds. Maybe.

If it helps: I asked my pharmacy and they now send me a text asking if I would like to refill the prescription explicitly shortly before it's out, so the scheduling is (mostly) no longer my problem. Might be worth seeing if they can do that for you. Good luck!

That's what my pharmacy does. They're a locally-owned joint, too, which is really nice.
