Ugh yeah, and it's so often based on these ideas like "too many people have adhd" or these worries of addicts. I'm sympathetic to addicts and the misdiagnosed, but at the end of the day, I have a medical condition that requires prescription strength stimulants in order for me to contribute to society and not cause accidental damage to myself and others. No choices were made to cause this other than when two people with adhd decided to have kids.
This whole limited supply thing comes from the drug enforcement agency, cops, not from the fda who are public health officials. Hell a lot of the hoops I have to jump through come from a government more afraid of damage done to those actively seeking this medicine who don't need it than the damage done if I can't consistently get the medicine I need in order to hold down a job, drive safely (or walk safely where cars may be), and not forget to pay my bills, do my laundry, and take dinner off the stove when it's done.
Also the "see a psychiatrist every 3 months" thing is kinda funny because well managed adhd should be pretty consistent. Once it's good annual checkups should be fine to just check you don't need to change dose or drug due to tolerance.
I hate the three month appointment requirement. My psych is already overbooked as is and 9 times out of 10 our calls end up being a quick 10 minute check in followed by a 450.00 charge to insurance with 150 uncovered. The alternative is to see a primary care doctor, but they often require a drug test with every visit and its a 50-50 shot they wont try to mess with a script ive had for years.
