Great news people. I had a consultation with my provider (ADHD-360), they told me that elvanse was trickling back into stock.

They updated my prescription from Amfexa to elvanse, I ordered that evening (Tues) and the meds are arriving today!

So it might be worth getting in touch with your provider and seeing if you can get the good meds 😊.

Might be worth noting that they asked how I was getting on with Amfexa. I told them honestly; it’s just not as good. So maybe they are taking into account people’s tolerances when deciding.

      Well I’d downvote you twice if I could.

      Getting a diagnosis from the NHS is a literal years long waiting list.

      But thanks for keeping us all safe by gatekeeping ADHD. Doing the lord’s work 🙌

          “hey here’s a friendly suggestion - your diagnosis sucks you should go to a REAL doctor. I bet you aren’t even sick lmao”

          “Fuck off gatekeeper”

          “Temper tantrum”

            All I wanted to do was to spread some hope among those of us who are anxious about the meds situation 🤷‍♂️.

            Guess some people who are never going to be happy.

            Maybe we should create some kind of tier list that they’d be happy with.

            A tier: AADHD - diagnosed as a child but only classic hyperactive symptoms. Medicated until they “grew out of it”.

            B tier: BADHD - diagnosed as an adult but only after battling bureaucracy and paperwork.

            C tier: CADHD - paid for a diagnosis. Basically faking.

            D tier: DADHD - struggles through life, relates to all of the information available but can’t afford to go private and can’t work out how to make their way through the NHS process due to crippling untreated ADHD. Basically wannabes.

          Really sorry I don’t have the right kind of ADHD after having to wait years for the right kind of doctor.

          For all those people who are waiting to be seen and/or can’t afford to go private; no one, diagnosed or not, knows what’s going on in your head. If you suspect you have it and it’s causing you issues, if you see the memes and laugh then cry because you relate: welcome to the club siblings. The dues are high and there are no perks.

          To all the gatekeepers out there: you’re not helping. Anyone.

          I “knew” I had ADHD for 9 months before being diagnosed. I tried to go through the NHS, but that shit is not 💫ADHD Friendly💫. So I paid to be assessed. I scored 5/6 of the initial diagnostic criteria and scored positively on 17/18 of the follow up criteria. I was offered medication after they explained the side effects. I chose to be medicated and it was life changing.

          After 38 years of not knowing why I was different; I finally found my people. I know who they are.

                  Hm. Let’s have a look shall we…

                  Glances through post history

                  You seem to have form for making inflammatory comments and when people react negatively, understandably so, you accuse them of being overly sensitive or that they should “calm down”.

                  If you meet one arsehole, you’ve met an arsehole. If everywhere you go, you meet aresholes, maybe it’s time for some introspection…
