I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go!

However… turns out that Japan has a law that absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don’t really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip.

I’m really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this.

I hate ADHD. I really do.

        I loved Vyvanse. I was able to advance at work because of Vyvanse.

        And then out of nowhere my insurance decides, not it’s $350 a month. Back to adderall I went.

          Yeah, it’s $250 a month for me. No thanks, I’ll just be all over the place.

            The Vyvanse patent expired recently and generics are available now for cheaper. My insurance is willing to cover the generic, it’s possible yours will too

          Sorry to hear that friend. Someone else commented that the patent expired recently and generic versions exist now, perhaps that is worth looking into.
