I have a family doctor, but they are in a different city than me because I never got a new one after moving away from my parents.
I can't risk looking for a new one because the supply is so low and I have a prescription which doctors refuse to make refillable. I need to get it re-prescribed every 90 days, even though I've been taking it at the same dosage for like 5 years now
I'm in the same boat. My doctor is on the other side of the city but I don't dare lose him because I need him to constantly refill an important prescription that really should just be infinite because I have to take it for the rest of my life. Thankfully I can do a lot of it by phone now which takes a lot of hassle off both of us.
Yeah I haven't interacted with this doctor in literally a couple of years, but every time I call the pharmacy to refill me, the pharmacist faxes my doc, and lo and behold, the new script arrives. No idea why they can't just make it refillable. No doctor will do it though.
Stimulants? My doc tells me he has to be paranoid because basically if they found out that anyone took a single dose of amphetamine for fun, he would lose his license. Any other drugs, here, have a sack of them and a lifetime supply of renewals. But not stimulants.
Yeah ADHD meds
Half hour drive from mine assuming no traffic. All appointments are at least a week out, usually 2
