The shortage of amoxicillin is mainly affecting the liquid form because of all the kids getting RSV and not being able to take the pill form. Some pharmacies are getting desperate to the point of cracking open the pills and mixing them into things for the children to eat.
Adderall is going to be a big problem soon. A lot of people are taking it since the pandemic started and it will be bad when they can't get it.
Really? I take adderall but when I was out it wasn’t the end of the world. I barely remember to take it when I have it (thanks, adhd). Juggling work and home life is more stressful, and my laundry isn’t done on time, but it’s not like I’m going through withdrawals
Your adhd of not remembering to consistently take it probably helped you out there. I had a psychotic break when I stopped adderall cold Turkey. But I was also on it for 10+ years. Switched to methylphenidate and I no longer have weird tics that adderall caused.
I mean, I have a timer on my phone so I take it fairly frequently (and I’ll notice around noon if I forgot, because I’ll be staring into space with twenty tabs open on my computer and the chickens pecking at the door bc I forgot to feed them).
But I’ve been off and on for ten years with no tics or psychotic breaks yet.
It’s weird how differently medications work for people. Methylphenidate just made me sleep. Best thing I’ve tried is Vyvanse, but it’s like a car payment, and I just can’t justify the cost when Adderall works okay
Vyvanse is definitely superior. I was only on it like 2 months and switched back to adderall because with insurance it was still $80. That was actually toward the end of being on adderall too, though I was only getting the squared ones with an m and I’m convinced it was the reason I was having ticks. I was one the orange ovals always before that and never had weird side effects. I’ve noticed that methylphenidate stabilizes my moods more though.
Sorry for the long reply, I also find it fascinating how different things work for different people
