The Irony of Missing your ADHD Appointment (self.neurodivergence)

Do you ever miss your refill appointments, like, almost every time? I've been conserving my Adderall since the shortage started - I've only gotten one refill in the past six months, and I've also missed every refill appointment in that time. I'm throwing money away for fees to reschedule appointments ... for a medication that helps me remember appointments ... that I can't even get refilled because of the supply change shortage. It's so frustrating and ironic, all I can do is try to laugh.

^hahaha^

All of my prescriptions except for Adderall are prescriptions I can order online and have delivered to me through my provider. I don't recall if that's nationwide across the US or just my provider, but I know off the cuff that the DEA classifies it as a schedule drug, so I'm betting it has everything to do with that.

Which is incredibly funny to me in a dark sorta way, I guess. Of the prescriptions I take, the one that I have to go through the most scheduling and attention to get is for a divergence that can make the very same things challenging 🥴.
