Weiß jemand, ob die 30 Tage Gültigkeit einer BTM-Bescheinigung ab Datum der Ausstellung durch den Arzt oder ab dem Datum der Beglaubigung durch die Behörde gilt?

I wish the medication shortage had been more of an election issue. Lots of people are struggling to get their scripts filled for a variety of conditions.

My son is doing well academically and emotionally right now, but every month I dread going to the pharmacy to be told they're out of his Concerta. Last month it was three chemists before I got some - the last one they had.

Why doesn’t Australia make more medicines? Wouldn’t that fix drug shortages?

RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/kennedy-rfk-antidepressants-ssri-school-shootings/

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.

RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".

This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.

This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

Ritalin on the road: ADHD drug methylphenidate improves driving performance https://www.psypost.org/ritalin-on-the-road-adhd-drug-methylphenidate-improves-driving-performance/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Ritalin #ADHD #Methylphenidate #DrivingPerformance #MentalHealth

Anyone out there using #ADHD meds like
#lisdexamfetamine / #lisdeksamfetamin ?

Typically aka #Vyvanse #Aduanz #Elvanse #Volidax #Balidax etc

...but you need a higher dosage compared to what's recommended?

The thing is, my previous Doc (and also ADHD expert) allowed me to exceed the recommended max dose (80mg/day) while testing #Ritalin (#methylphenidate / #metylfenidat) to find what actually worked for me.

(1/2)

So I’ve been thinking about today what other medication besides #HRT for #trans people is pointlessly gate kept and would thus be readily accessible for anyone if we finally abolished prescriptions. More specifically medicine that I might be willing to take myself.

And the answer was kinda obvious: #ADHD medication. Now personally I have #autism (technically not diagnosed but there really is very little room for doubt) but that of course doesn’t exclude the possibility of #AuDHD and depending on what I do I do get easily distracted. Now that might be #burnout too, but the question really is whether it might be worth it to try #Ritalin or #Aderall anyways.

Thanks to the utterly #transphobic #DutchHellCare system I do already have contacts to an “Online Pharmacy” that doesn’t bother asking for prescriptions, so what would be the risk anyways? …

Which of course also leads to the question: If there is #OpenHRT for trans people, is there a similar infrastructure in place for ADHD-meds?

#diyhrt #diymedicine

Fuck. Fucking DEA. Finally got me.

Yeah it’s methylphenidate. The shortage. Or, “shortage”, because the DEA limits how much methylphenidate pharmaceutical firms are able to bring to market, and they don’t care if their limits are sufficient to meet demand.

#methylphenidate #ritalin #adhd #shortage

I took my #ritalin too late and now I am not getting tired. If I go to bed when I finally will get tired, I would certainly oversleep tomorrow...

So, I think I’ll pull an #allnighter. 🎉☕😑

#adhd #methylphenidate

@unfortunateshort @thor It depends very much on the meds. I’m a big fan of #methylphenidate (#Ritalin). Available for over 50 years, no addiction, it works from day 1, no tapering, and limited side effects. It also replaces an #ADHD test: if you feel like on cocaine, you don’t have ADHD. 😅

Disclaimer:
Just in case someone without a sense of humour reads this Toot, I’d like to stress that the last point was a joke. I STRONGLY advise against taking this stuff without medical supervision!
