The shortage has made my life and the quality of life for my family and I SO painfully difficult. Calling around is not easy when you live in a city where pharmacies have to be cautious. 😒 ….all we can do is pray.

I’m so angry at these people who suddenly need my medicine because of the pandemic. I’ve been taking ADHD medication for 8 years and need it to function daily and because of these selfish people I am now 4 months without my medication. This is horrible.

Telemedicine has destroyed my life. I have been treated for many years successfully and have had a successful life. My life is falling apart after not being able to receive my medication for more than two months in the past 8 months.
