    Yeah my boy friends pharmacy refused to fill his script because they deemed his dose so high and called all the pharmacies around so his doctor had to lower his dose and now it doesn’t do anything for him. Yeah it sucks to have ADHD these days.

      Ah, for fucks sake.

      In fairness to pharmacies in general, what many don’t know is that a pharmacist has more medical training than a doctor on medications and how they interact, so doctors do listen to pharmacists on that topic (typically) - and have reason to do so.

      That said, this sounds like bullshit to me. A doctor or psychiatrist probably knows the dosage better imho, so this fucking stinks.

      I’m sorry :(

        Yeah he’s been on that dosage for years through 4 different doctors. It’s not like this current one just started him at a high dose. He’s one of those people who metabolizes his meds very fast. Like give him a 20mg adderall and give him a drug test 8 hours later and he’ll pass, kinda fast. Every medication he’s on is a higher dose than average. And the pharmacist can see everything he’s on too.
