I’ve been getting my meds the last few months from Cerebral but just the dreaded email that they will no longer be prescribing stimulants starting in October due to regulatory changes. Does anyone know if this is for all telehealth services or just some? It’s been amazing not having to go in person and scrambling to make up my hours at work just to get the same meds I’ve been taking for almost 10 years.

It's just for some. The problem with Cerebral is that they allegedly aimed to prescribe stimulants to all of their patients. The regulatory landscape didn't change so much as they were the subject of a whistleblower complaint and are now being investigated.

Ah, thanks. I’m relieved that I’ll probably be able to find another service like that.

Your doctor should be able to prescribe controlled substances with just a phone appt if they're comfortable with you. I check in every three months by phone and maybe once a year in person.

Bummer. I've done the XR + Adderall recipe when I was pulling crazy hours. My doctor was totally supportive. There are some that understand our profession. Good luck to you!

Just to add to this, I thought this article was interesting: https://www.additudemag.com/cerebral-adhd-telehealth-diagnosis-medication-report/
