I read on psychcentral.com that ADHD is part of the Autism spectrum. Anyway, my real purpose here now is to talk about my medication. I have been taking Vyvanse which was being supplied to me for free by the manufacturer, Shire. However, they turned my application down this year. I had been warned by my psychiatrist that the drug companies were starting to try and get out of supplying free drugs. I don’t know why. I didn’t expect that to apply to me as my circumstances have not changed. My medical doctor put me on 10 mg amphetamine salts. I was on 60 mg Vyvanse. I am having a very hard time. Perhaps because I had finally felt stable and was functioning better than I had in years, and boom, here I am again. My brain is not working. My body is not moving. I’m sleeping all of the time. It makes me doubt myself, the diagnosis, the treatment. . .
As to the shortage of drugs, about two years ago I had to change another medication because of the manufacturer not having any and was told it was due to the crises in the middle east where most of the manufacturers are located. This also applied to other goods. When I tried to buy more yarn to finish a crochet project, the shelves were almost empty and I was told the same thing about the crises in the middle east hampering production and shipment. It seems to me there has always been a crisis in the middle east so why would any sane person locate production there to start with.
