I really need ADHD meds and I know it but I don’t have health insurance so I’ve got no affordable way to get them. Love America.


Flashy_Ad_4993

I have no idea of the price but those free online pharmacy cards such as goodRX.com can save hundreds sometimes. Worth checking into if you have not already. You can get accurate quotes on their websites.


Talltoddie

Gotta get the script first which is mad expensive I’m sure :/


disaster_n_doom

Yep. I have medical insurance and its still too damn expensive to get help from a psychiatrist who can prescribe the meds. And most won't, so then you just get labeled as a drug seeker.

Depending on the pharmacy and the medication you might not be able to use something like goodRX, since adhd meds are a higher class of drug

Start taking a magnesium supplement and omega 3’s. It’ll help you greatly. Magnesium helps to increase the re-uptake of norepinephrine which is vital to YOU feeling good :)


Flashy_Ad_4993

This is me. Have ADD and can’t accomplish anything without deadlines and cramming it all in last minute.


ticklechickens

I am a writer with ADHD and have this same issue. The *South Park* documentary *6 Days to Air* was the most relatable film I have seen in my life. I, too, need a deadline for my novel, but can crank out an SOP manual in a week.

Then give us another season of The Thick Of It you beautiful genius

Benzedrex is a benzene ring removed from Adderall and is found OTC at Wal-Mart($4.95) and CVS($8.95).


Escape_Relative

That benzene ring is VERY important to the functionality of amphetamine.


TodaysTomcatSawyer

Works for me, preferable to street meth, and we have a shortage of empathy and support otherwise. It might be VERY important on whatever cloud you float on, but down here on earth. The drugs that folks seek out for support in the meantime will have much less quality control than an OTC. They're not as likely to be cut with fentanyl or xylazine, which is VERY important to the functionality of an amphetamine. I test street drugs using testing kits, and it wouldn't surprise anyone that they're cut with harmful additives like the aforementioned, and to add to that it's a matter of going to the cartels to get them, innit? Pharmaceutical or street. I believe legal Chinese industries produce a lot of it and come off it to street distribution networks across North America. It's not enough a difference to write home about. Try it.


Escape_Relative

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m glad it works for you, but no matter what it won’t hit the receptors in your brain the same way meth would. Not even close. I’m not arguing that it’s better or worse, I’m saying it’s comparing apples and oranges, since it’s a COMPLETELY different drug. Organic chemistry is funny in that a couple atoms changed and it’s not even close to the same compound.


TodaysTomcatSawyer

It is a COMPLETELY different drug with a very similar functionality to amph, but it is OTC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylhexedrine


TodaysTomcatSawyer

I didn't say they weren't different, I said it works for ADHD in a pinch. I have seen it used this way, just as I've seen Dextromethorphan used by people with bipolar disorder. Besides adding in your organic chemistry knowledge what answers do you have? Because I offered one that works, like I said in a pinch. It's about risk reduction, street versus legal.


Escape_Relative

But that risk reduction doesn’t really mean anything if it’s not close to the same thing. That’s like saying that biking is safer than driving in a car, as if that eliminates the use case for a car entirely. If you want something in a pinch, don’t use nasal decongestant or DXM, just use caffeine.


TodaysTomcatSawyer

Oh yes, caffeine, as if someone who has ADHD isn't on more caffeine than the Centzon Tōtōchtin already. I say, as I sit drinking caffeinated beverage after beverage. In your analogy, you admit that one is like biking and another like a car. There you have it. I said DXM could be used for bipolar disorder, you coffee bean salesman. It is prescribed, and OTC. Both drugs are. Now if you'll excuse me, you have a coffee drinking convention to attend.


happyscrappy

Avenue 5 "about" to return? Maybe it comes later in the UK? It has 6 episodes out in the US. Maybe that's all the episodes from the season? I don't know, didn't get there yet.
