I’ve rung round and found some. The really good news is that the NHS offers an electronic prescription service so it just gets released into the ether and I can pick it up from anywhere.

I refilled a week ago at my normal pharmacy in London with no fuss, but had issues back in February when no one had it in stock. Did your pharmacy give you the paper version of the Rx when they couldn’t fill it? You can take that to any other pharmacy that does have it in stock and give it to them to fill it. Recommend calling nearby pharmacies in advance to see if they have stock before going in person—less time consuming and lowers the risk of losing the paper Rx

Also depending on what meds and dosage you’re on, could your GP prescribe a combination of lower doses for the same med? Eg if nowhere has 40mg Elvanse, you could get 30mg and 10mg instead

Oh great news! Didn’t see your response before my second comment sorry

It’s all good friend. Appreciate the suggestions. Very unlikely on the lower dose, I’d have more luck buying it from a dealer than actually speaking to my gp 😂

Yes, had to get my usual prescription split into two smaller doses.

Here is my dilemma: I was passed up for manager promo last year and rightfully so a lot of my feedback was definitely correlated to me not properly handing my symptoms causing a good bit of inconsistencies in my performance especially if I lacked interest.

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily? A lot of people judge me in a negative way and in reality it is because my ADHD brain needs it. 1) the consistency for schedule 2) exercise can help tone down the symptoms before I sit down for the work day 3) it is the only thing I can control to make it look like I am not a mess (disorganization, interrupting) - basically trying to stay in the game at work based on perception of “having it together”. Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.
