[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw in an article that prescriptions for adderral increased 20% in 2022 over 2021 (or maybe it was 2021 over 2020) and the fda is not inclined to increase the production limits, which is part of the reason for the shortages.  The article said the increase came in part after the FDA allowed it to be prescribed by telehealth providers during the pandemic.

We have three people in our family with ADHD and only one takes a stimulant medication because he really needs it.  I’m so irritated at all the people getting prescriptions for study drugs causing shortages for people who really need it.  I also wish they’d crack down on these sketchy telehealth providers that seem to exist to prescribe cipro and adderral. (I’ve seen them advertised and they all but say this.). [/quote]
I understand your frustration and it's a little frightening to think about the telehealth scripts for this stuff. However, PP, I am 99% certain I have ADHD and now that I have young kids I'm finding it impossible to function. Yet I cannot afford to see a psychiatrist because there are none that take my insurance and the process is thousands of dollars to get a Dx and Rx. I am seriously considering going the online route... if I can actually get myself to make the appointment.[/quote]
