    The truly fucking brutal one: “How are you out of ADHD meds, just pick up the phone, call your doctor to make an appointment, attend said appointment, make sure the script goes to the right pharmacy and then just pick up your prescription! It’s so simple, it should be a cake walk to do even when you’re out of medication.”

    Until I moved to Canada (where getting my meds refilled became a phone call immediately followed by a walk to the pharmacy) I lived in constant fear that I’d fall off my meds and death spiral as I’ve had several close calls in the past.

    (Also this isn’t meant to imply that medication is the sole solution for everyone, but it works exceedingly well for me).

        That’s awesome! Back when I lived in the US methylphenidate was treated like cocaine and doled out in tight controlled manners.
