Very much a dude.
I wonder if you talked to your pharmacist about it they could do something so that you would have a continuous supply? I wonder if getting it from a mail pharmacy would help?
Stimulant medications for ADHD are Schedule II controlled substances by the DEA.

I either hope my doctor sees the script for a different pharmacy that has the right dose, or wait till Friday.

Otherwise, not much more to be done.

This is what happens when someone orders a prescription for the wrong dosage for Adderall XR in the middle of a shortage caused by the DEA.

I said 15mg, confirmed 15mg, and they put it in for 10mg. Now I'm dealing with the aftermath.

My sister accusing me of getting mad when I was talking calmly. It's like she always wants to start an argument, and I have to spend the whole day at the zoo with her tomorrow.
The Zoo stinks. Litterally!

Oh yes.

My general sleep schedule is ruined, I'm much more easily irritated and angered, I'm way more impulsive, and I can barely pay any sort of attention.

In other words, my ADHD gets way worse.

On medication, my autistic side comes out more, and luckily its support needs are rather mild and easily accommodated.

With the work my doctor, therapist, and clinical psychologist have all done with me, that's the best for my situation.

Dang..that really sucks. Let me know how you make out and hope you get through this patch without your meds.

That's good. I really hope pharmacies would get there **** together. They always make it a pain in the ass to get stuff done.
It's really not the fault of doctors or pharmacies.

It really is the DEA, and I could do a whole blog post on why, but it essentially comes down to them drying up meth production only to legal sources and strictly controlling that. Which includes the production of amphetamine and methylphenidate for use in ADHD medication.

I once had this happening as well. But they gave a 6 hour wait time. I was like WTF?! And it ended with a message: your package has been delayed. After 6 freaking hours!!!! I swore like a sailor after that
Plus add the fact that im deaf so i have to sit in front room and watch...
