I mindlessly used starch while ironing my 100% cotton shirt. Now wrinkles from daily wear stand out like crazy. What's the best way to get the starch out?

Trying steaming it or it’ll have to be sent to dry cleaning

Light starch is what I use on my super heavy shirts. That’s why I need to look extra crispy sharp

Wait you can’t use starch with cotton?

I’m mean, I never iron my shirts anyway (CY shirts mostly, usually just hang after coming out of drier with occasional dry cleaning)

Thanks HC1, I'll try steaming tonight.

And yeah, the starch makes it too crisp, and makes it prone to many more wrinkles.

I starch 100% cotton all the time but don’t go overboard with it. Just try steaming as others have said

Oh so it's okay to lightly starch it? Yeah I went overboard last time.

I steamed it last night and wore it today, and it was mostly fine. Still a few sharp creases but steaming made a big difference. Thanks.

How much would a 30 day supply of Vyvanse (30mg) cost me after insurance? I know this is going to vary by plan but I'm still curious as to know how expensive of a medication this is.

My pharmacy informed me that the insurance will not cover without authorization from the psych. My psych was wary about this & instead suggested Ritalin during my session. He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!
