A waitlist for meds is so weird to me. I was given a prescription my first visit with a psych and then when I moved I told my doctor I had ADHD and he just wrote me a script without even doing anything more than an ADHD questionnaire.
Yeah, my psych diagnosed, and faxed it to my primary physician. He was like “ah yeah I see you got diagnosed. Here, let me write you a script for some meds… Uncle Sam will only let me write 30 days at a time, but I can post-date up to three. So I’ll write three 30-day supplies, and you can use them when they become valid.
I dont believe theres actually a waitlist for the meds themselves, I have to do titration first which I think is the hold up
Titration is just a gradual increase in dosage. So there really shouldn't be a delay unless your pharmacy can't source low dosages.
It's Adderall, a lot of pharmacies can't get any doses if op is in America. The DEA has restrictions on schedule 2 drugs like most adhd meds that have caused constant shortages for years
