K, so I see posts wayyyy to often where the OP is crying and miserable about the way their pharmacy treats them like shit and never is on top of making sure they have your meds available and/or ready for you come refill day.

If this is ever the case, you need to fire your pharmacy and find a better one. Usually, smaller mom+pop or smaller local chains will appreciate your business and help you ideally with these things without you even having to ask (or only requiring one-time orientation on what your preferences are as they relate to servics they usually do or should be offering:

  • fill your meds automatically without you having to ask

  • ensuring it is in stock without you having to worry in order for them to fill said refills

  • advise you of any complications or further steps required of you to help them make sure you’re taken care of and consistent with refills

  • remind YOU about shit, not the other way around. My pharmacy might as well be my unpaid intern/executive assistant with all things medical as they pertain to my business/the privelege of getting said business I grant them

  • delivery: this is non-negotiable. If they ain’t delivering, I ain’t playin’. My pharmacy knows that to be my drug dealer, they gotta come to me. Cuz I ain’t leaving the couch to get my drugs

  • deal with dr for you if any discrepancy or error is in the way. This is the beauty of medical practices with adjoining pharms. Ethics be damned, vertical/horizontal integration 4 the win!

That is all. Your pharmacy should feel so lucky to have a good get like AD(H)D patients, I would rather have that then a money printer if I was a pharmacy owner.

Spread the word and f all that noise. You are worthy to be waited on and catered to, controlled substance or otherwise.

Not sure if this is cogent but I take rhe 2nd rarest (prescribed/available) medication next to Desoxyn and I’ve never had an issue getting it filled, even in the depths of the Great Adderall Shortage although it wasn’t Adderall so not sure how relevant my n=1 is this context

    I mean it would never scale for Costco I don’t think. Smaller pharms hire a random guy who Ubers your drugs to you. Its an unimaginably beautiful thing!

      I mean, that’s literally against the law. I wouldn’t want anyone risking their liberty for my convenience.

      Edit: It’s legal for a pharmacy to ship them to you. The entity has to be registered with the DEA.

        I’m not in US, happily. Its definitely not, pretty sure they wouldn’t be taking that risk if it were illegal (I used Über figuratively, its not literally some random Über guy…). We don’t have a bunch of dumb, narc cops setting drug policy over here :)

          We’ve definitely got pharmacy delivery in the US as well.

              My college roommate 100% had his adderall delivered to him. Might be a state to state thing

              There absolutely is. I get my vyvanse prescription delivered every month in Minnesota. And I got my Adderall prescription delivered the same way before the shortage cased me to switch. Lookup a pharmacy called Capsule, they’re delivery only.

              K, I don’t think you know that, you seem to be parroting the top-level commenter who already admitted explicitly he needed to actually look into it further as opposed to just saying things or how he “feels” it is. Even his initial comment sort of subtly caveats he didn’t know 100%
