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.

Ritalin is the only medication I've taken for the last 15 years and I stg someone still fucking hassles me at least once every few months. Either it's insurance, the doctor, or the pharmacy. Someone ALWAYS makes it a pain in the ass. It's beyond absurd how many hoops I still jump through after over a decade of the same dose of the same medication.

Adderall here, and yeah it's nuts how much I have to fight to get the shit I have been taking since I was 10? 12?, I dunno when it's been a few decades

Pre-authorization gang! Doesn't matter that I'm regularly prescribed by the same doctor for over 10 years... my insurance wants to double check once a year to make sure it's still "medically necessary". Like yeah, my ADHD might just fucking go away one day. I fucking wish it would ya assholes, but could we not hold my script for 3 extra days, every year, just to "make sure" I'm not cured‽
