Currently not ADD but I do have severe narcolepsy with cataplexy. Everyday I wake up feeling like I haven’t slept 3 days. Cataplexy is sudden loss of muscle tone. Currently on Adderall for it and have been for 5 years. Without it and my ven. I collapse 10-20 times a day. My doctor has left the practice and replacement asshole with a Ph.d says I need a new sleep study and won’t prescribe my prescription until I have it done. I am Covid pos and now can’t get in to get a sleep study. Am I fucked?

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. Can you find a new doctor who can review your medication history and prescribe you the same medication you have been taking as a bridge until you can get in to see them?

I’ve found if I say “bridge” then they seem to know it’s meant as a short term fix and I seem to get a better response.

I have had issues infrequently with getting back in to see the doctor quick enough that I don’t run out of my medication and my doctor is pretty good about giving me a small bridge script to get me through until the appointment date
