I’m in US. Every year it gets harder and harder to get my meds. Since my doc is in another state, I have to drive 80 miles to get ADHD, anxiety, and sleep meds. However, I can just get my other meds near my current house.
Also, instead of have refills on my sleep meds, they have to be prescribed by the month. It’s really annoying because I drive to get them and pharmacy doesn’t have them due to a mistake while interfacing with my doc. It’s happened a few times now. All the docs here are insurance billing farms so I never switched any doctors when I moved.
ADHD and all comorbidities seem to create a need for meds that are harder and harder to get. Drug tests, drug shortages, sleepless nights… At this point I want to sue the DEA. (Drug enforcement agency - Sorry for American defaultism) Anyone else have these issues?
Once you get the script it honestly gets even more Kafkaesque. You can only fill the prescription every 28 days, which virtually guarantees that you will slowly lose a day or two every month just because everything doesn’t align properly between your appointments, the pharmacy filling the script, and you picking it up. Be the timer actually starts when you pick it up. God forbid you are out of town the week you need to refill, because it means you are just going to be down a whole week of meds.
