Oh, medication would definitely help. You have $700 you can loan me for a weeks supply of Vyvanse, right?

Jesus over here it's like 30 bucks a month. I'd ask where you live but I'm almost certain it's America.

America. Land Of "you need this to function so it costs more than you earn from functioning" Also, it's technically a controlled substance (Schedule 3 I believe) so the 70mg dose I need was HEAVILY metered.

30 bucks in America too with insurance. Just a FYI, the system is obviously still fucked.
