The ADHD medication shortage is getting worse. What went wrong?

Neither drugmakers nor the DEA anticipated a sharp rise in diagnoses during the pandemic. Now an entire class of medications may be in short supply.

@Kilikazen I feel like not enough of the conversation around the shortage is talking about the dangerously severe withdrawal symptoms that happen when someone has to abruptly stop one of these medications. The suddenly find themselves without dopamine and serotonin, which can be very very bad.

@kaequinn Excellent point. Fortunately, I reduced my dosage before I ran out. I've been off it suddenly and it's unpleasant, to say the least.

I'm on Vyvanse now but the slow release is a nightmare for me. I had to stop because even waking up at 3 am , it lasted way too long and messed up my sleep cycle.
