    I hear ya. I had to get off ADHD meds because it required me to have a doctor visit to get a fresh paper prescription every single month.

    EDIT: That, and I developed hypertension.

      I worked my way up to 60mg of amphetamine a day in my 20s, now I take 5 when I do take It. My doctors aware of all that, but writes me a script for 60mg a day so I only have to refill 1-2 a year.

      Guess I should count myself lucky, then - I needed the monthly script, but they didn’t require me to actually see the doctor that often. I’d guess the hypertension was a long-standing concern even before it was finally diagnosed. Sorry you had that happen, and I hope things get better for you.
