Getting ready for my quarterly "i have to go look at my doctor in person and ask to be allowed to take my adhd meds for another 3 months" appointment which costs me extra copay money and time and also executive function, but it's good to know I'm not...... idk recklessly refilling my adhd meds

at least I can go to my doctor's website and request a new refill each month instead of calling in, but the fact that I'm not even allowed to have a single automatic refill on the "meds for people who will forget to request new meds every month" meds is also frustrating

Dealing with this with my son every month has been so frustrating over the last decade and change. I hate everything about the process for him to, yanno, be able to focus on school.

I was just thinking about how it is also added trouble for parents, man. Like it's hard for those of us diagnosed as an adult because we don't have anyone with better function to navigate it for us, but also parents DON'T NEED MORE SHIT TO DEAL WITH EITHER

It has gotten easier from when he was first diagnosed. We used to have to go pick up his prescription form IN PERSON and hand deliver it to the pharmacy every month. Now it's electronic transfer but we have to call. Last time, it took three weeks because of technology snafus.
