Soooo doesthat mean I can get my medicine sooner than the two months it takes to refill?

Is that just an Adderall-class thing? Because my daughter is on a Ritalin-class drug and we seem to be able to get it refilled pretty quickly here, but she's only been on it a short time and we've only had to order one refill. Are we lucky so far? Should we try to make some sort of preparations with her psychiatrist?

There were rolling shortages of methylphenidate as well, largely because of Adderall shortages pushing people to methylphenidate. But I haven’t had a problem for a while.

Probably. Only reason I have some is because I don't use on weekends and holidays so I don't build a tolerance so I have a few month supply but now I'm running out. You can't set up an auto-refill or refill in advance or order online When I go to refill, it takes another 2 months before stock becomes available. Good luck finding a pharmacy because your prescription can only be filled by the drug store it was originally filled at without having to fill out a shitload of paperwork. On top of that, I called every pharmacy within king count WA (2.2 million population) and everyone said they were on backorder.
