Misc UK ADHD medication shortage

Yeah thats right

But you said

"5 bottles of 5% 300ml larger that cannot be seen as 1500ml of 25%"

The amount of liquid is the same but the abv is different, so obviously there's a difference there
Is there a difference between percentage and abv? 5 bottles of 5 abv or % would be 25? No?
 
Yes mate anyone who has scepticism about the safety of cannabis, especially the modern stuff, is a BIG PHARMA SHEEPLE
yes mate, cos that's exacty what i said :rolleyes:

edit - oh wait a minute, you're on acid heh

set and setting, set and setting, and some nice thc laden smoke for the comedown, perhaps offest with a 40mg sublingual cbd dose half an hour previous, dependent upon sir's cannabinoid balance requirements

I thought that it was debunked that there is no clear link between cannabis and schizophrenia... But that like any substance, if you already have a mental health diagnosis it must be avoided...

Also what are those people in the Carribbean called Rastafari? Where weed is part of their daily existence, it would be interesting to see if there is a higher incidence of mental health amongst the population..
They live in some sort of heavenly nature, Cannabis legalization is on the way i think. No idea how actually is living there. But seems very nice.

Pure Homestasis is impossible, but Carribean seems close. So they smoke for fun we to forget.
 
I’m in the U.K and prescribed elvanse and dexamphetamine, but for a while now supply is erratic, with little or no assistance from the doctors.
I’ve read how people are searching for alternative sources as they don’t have a choice.
But I’m not aware of any reliable alternative suppliers.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a prescription just keep hitting different pharmacies until you find one that has it in stock or can order it, which currently is most pharmacies in the UK.

If 'alterative sources' is a euphemism for how to order on the darknet or whatever, that's against the rules.

For whatever reason the latest shortage didn't really hit me. They only had Elvanse 'adult' available one month, which is the exact same thing, and aside I've been collecting my elvanse and dex every month with a hitch. Maybe it's because I live in a rural area.

I was living in Bristol during the 2020-21 shortages and that kind of sucked. I'd have to go to half a dozen pharmacies sometimes or wait for it to be ordered but I always got it before I ran out. It was methylphenidate back then which probably helped because there are multiple generics available.

Thanks, I have been trying various pharmacies, but not had much luck.
I tried contacting a private consultant, who is asking an extortionate amount of money(in cash) before assisting.
I have tried Ritalin before and had no issue, so I’m happy to switch over.
I’m one of those that is heavily reliant on my medication to function.
As for places like the darknet, I doubt they’d have it either, I don’t really mind where it comes from, as it’s what I’m prescribed, and is important for my health.
All I can do is keep trying , but it’s proving really difficult.

Maybe ask if you can switch from elvanse to just dexamphetamine. It's not ideal but there are generics available. Same with methylphenidate.

Your GP won't be able to do that though. You'll either need to pay for it privately or ask for a NHS referral to have your dose adjusted, which I get can take time I've been on a waiting list for a year and a half myself.

What the GP might be willing to do is prescribe 2 different strengths to make up your dose. So say if Elvanse 60mg is perpetually out of stock they could prescribe twice the amount of 30mg instead. They aren't obliged to do this but shouldn't face any liability if they do so it is worth asking, and asking a different GP if they say no.

What is your dose out curiosity? I'm on 50mg and haven't had any trouble getting it but that might because I'm in an area with less demand.

Darknet sources probably aren't worth the gamble tbh. Most of what puports to be pharma is really homemade presses. 4-MPH marketed as Ritalin and so on. Self medicating with pure amphetamine might be an option if you're desperate, and can source it and know how to wash it.

ADHD/autism/neurodiversity services in general need a lot lot more funding in the UK to catch up with a years long backlog, and its not going to be getting it any time soon.

Most rastas I've met won't touch skunk
 
It is valid. But maybe just smoke less?

I do agree though. If you spend everyday smoking high grade all day it tends to have a detrimental effect on your sanity eventually.
