You wouldn’t pirate a medicine, would you?

      And you know what bloody sucks? ADHD meds are one of the few that you can not and probably should not make at home. Why? Without watching the whole video, I can tell you the medication he can’t get ahold of is Lisdexamphetamine. The precursor chemicals of which are the same as for Methamphetamine. It’s also in the same schedule as opiates. So I’d imagine that even the guy the article is about wouldn’t mess around with those publicly, and perhaps even privately as the DEA heavily monitors sales of the precursors.

      I’m so fucking sick of the meds that make my brain work being out of stock :(

        I remember reading an article a month or two ago about a guy ordering a bunch of precursor amphetamines from China, and the distributor was able to route them through Mexico. He called it “simple” to acquire.

        Try Adzenys.

        I like it better than adderall and I haven’t experienced any shortage where I am in the states, while friends can’t get their Addy.

          The shortage is happening internationally. I am in Australia. I would have to pay money to see a psychiatrist again to change meds. I would need to restart a 12 month period where my GP can’t be the prescriber.

          Prescription medication advertisements are illegal here too, so I think I just extra don’t appreciate unsolicited medication advice. I get you’re trying to be helpful. However, I did not ask for help.

              I’ve tried enough meds in my life to know which ones work. Vyvanse is the only things that does. But if you mean it genuinely, while it’s in stock atm I’ve been skipping some days a week. I now have a 3 month supply saved up so 🤞

                No, I do mean that genuinely.

                Your initial reply rubbed me the wrong way since I was trying to help but that doesn’t mean I don’t wish you luck! Everyone’s situation is different and i know fuck-all about Australia’s healthcare system lol

      I was expecting a NileRed video of him extracting meds from batteries or anal lube or something
