It’s nice to see some reporting on the potential causes of the issues folks are facing with filling Adderall prescriptions.
I’ll provide an anecdotal observation…
My SO has narcolepsy and uses Adderall to, quite literally, function. It’s unfortunate that this malady wasn’t referenced in the article but considering it affects (and I’m guessing here) less than 5% of the population, it makes sense. However (and I can appreciate the concern of individuals who suffer from ADHD), an individual who is suffering from narcolepsy and cannot access their medication can result in what could be argued as a zombie like state.
I can, somewhat, appreciate the impetus behind the idea of putting up blockers to prevent the access of recreational drugs. But, as a former opioid addict, I also have found that limiting legitimate access (when a drug maker isn’t influencing the FDA to make up addictive tiers) typically results in a greater crime than what was initially attempted to prevent.
Suffice to say, without getting too political, pick a representative that has more than a hammer when they’re viewing a nail.
