2023, you were supposed to be better!

I'm in Chicagoland, playing that annual winter game called "How cold will it get before you break out the 'big coat'?"

I am currently trying to remain employed while caring for my elderly dog who is my whole heart. And I am seriously finding the Adderall shortage to be unbearable. I'm unable to get through the simplest and smallest task without spending a lot of effort getting past exhaustion and distractions. Whilst calling around different places as per usual these days, I've run up against pharmacies who will not say whether they have any medication in stock.

So when I call my doctor to let them know where to send the prescription, it's then Schrodinger's meds until I learn if it's in stock or out of stock. Meanwhile, time and deadlines fly by before I've even had a chance to use the post-it notes for organizing the week. I would say that I definitely know this is a first-world problem, but then I have to be fr honest and say that this shouldn't even be a first-world problem.

Looking forward to 2024! Whoo!

It takes time for the manufacturers to make new medication after the first if the year and new quotas. Have you thought about going to a different milligram of Adderall until the shortage in your area is over ? Have you thought about switching to another medication until Adderall is back in stock in your area ?

We are only a 27 days into 2023. It will get better. What is your dogs name ?

I'm to your southwest about a 3 hour drive. I had to make a rule that if it is below freezing I will wear my "big coat." I hate being hot, but I have not regretting following this rule. There have been a few days of leaving it open though.

Stay warm friend. Hoping the medicine comes through for you, definitely frustrating.
