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

and these are the much relaxed post-covid rules! they make it so hard to get treatment, man. so needlessly hard.

I really hope no one ever again has to know the pain of having to keep track of a physical paper prescription for two months so you can get it filled at the pharmacy later because it was illegal for them to hold it for you

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.
