Is anyone else impacted by the stimulant shortage? If so, how are you maintaining productivity during the days/weeks in between prescription refills?

My doctor switched me to Dyanavel. Insurance didn’t want to cover it since Adderall XR is cheaper but he pushed back on them citing the shortage and they’ve covered it every month since.

I'm rationing and making sure I have very slow works days when possible so I don't have to burn through my pills. I also asked my doctor to try some non-stimulant alternatives.

Yup. Since I’m nomadic I have to find different providers wherever I go. So if that’s not hard enough, getting meds for a new patient is virtually impossible. I had to give up and rely on many tools outside of meds.

Mind sharing some of your tools pls ?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent.

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
