Hi @lunasea275, welcome to TADD. 🙂

It is not just a NY State thing. My doc is doing the same thing with my Vyvanse. He gave me a prescription for 3 months but I can only get 30 at a time and I have to wait until it’s all gone to get it filled again. Which is a huge hassle and means there will be times I will have to go without because I just simply can’t get to the pharmacy.

Any med that is in the amphetamine family will be controlled. And there aren’t many that don’t fall into that category but there are a couple. I think Strattera is one. But read up on it before you decide if you want to take it. I think it has some pretty nasty side effects and there are some people who can’t take it, especially anyone with heart problems or high blood pressure.

I hope you can find a solution.
