So far its been good with the Ritalin SR - alas I can sleep![]()
It hasn't been all flowers and rainbows though. Most of my issues lately have been simply getting my RX filled. I dunno if anyone here has experienced this but I feel like some kind of drug ***** everytime I go get this damn thing filled. The pharmacy techs always give me "that look". So irritating. I realize this is a controlled substance but geez! I brought my RX to fill yesterday at Costco and they refused to fill it because they said I was back to fill it before what they thought I should be. I went to my doctor and told him I needed the refill and he readily gave it to me. He knows my situation, I'm am experimenting with the dose that works for me. Basically what I found was that if I take two 20mg in the AM it works long enough to get me through the day. If I only take one I don't notice anything at all. Geez I feel like I have to justify this to prove I'm not abusing this stuff because the way the pharmacy acts everytime I go there
So in the pharmacy's defense..... as I was walking up to get my RX filled I overheard a woman in front of me say something like "well I don't REALLY need it anyways it just helps me study". I walk up to the window as they turn her away, and I say something like "tell me that's not what I think I heard?" Pharmacy tech says something like "are you filling an Adderroll RX too?". I was like well if she didn't NEED it then why was she filling the RX and the pharmacy tech says something rather sarcastically like "oh but you NEED yours, right?"After I dropped off the RX she called me 5 minutes later saying they could not fill the script. This was a horrible experience! Now I'm beginning to understand WHY people just say screw it and don't get treated for ADD when they really could benefit from meds. I understand why they have to be careful but they also don't need to be completely disrespectful just because of the TYPE of RX I'm filling!
