What has upset/frustrated me is how poorly this shortage has been signposted by the NHS. I was not made away of this problem until i tried to fill my next prescription. No alternatives meds suggested. No Consultation. No check-ins. This was a failure of care. Fullstop.
We are dying because of this. Unless you have ADHD you just have no idea what a painful existence life is. Why are we not talking about this enough? I applaud this video. Thank you
Life isn't painful. But it's virtually impossible to support yourself or remain employed because without medication, people with true ADHD can't do anything right
My untreated ADHD led to BPD at 19. New research is showing a huge correlation between the two disorders and the similarity of low dopamine. It is a very painful existence, but I refuse to give up. I’ll keep trying and do everything I can to manage with or without medication ❤
@@michah321I have severe ADHD, textbook, I was the poster child for it. I can do some things right, but it takes an immense amount of energy out of me, and I need lots of downtime to recharge. It really isn’t practical if I have a lot to do.
This shortage ruined my life. I am a final year student with ADHD. Did fantastic last year, getting 60-80% grades. This year I've been out of medication that I've been on for 1 and a half years. The replacement meds give me side effects. I might have to repeat my year. It makes me so angry that its drug dealers exploiting people to do this.
Us pain patients in the U.S. are getting treated even worse~& we are effected by a shortage of our meds as well... IF you can even get treatment, thx to the DEA butting in & CDC's draconian "guidelines"/laws. People are literally killing themselves... so if the ADHD community feels uncomfortable by having their meds out... please consider speaking up for us responsible Pain Patients who are dying/stuck in bed/degraded/not getting any or improper treatment. We should all be helping each-other right now.
we definitely don't have any ADHD medications in the USA either and have had a shortage/ been on backorder for months - so I definitely wouldn't suggest buying from a sketchy dealer over here
Take it on the days you know you’ll need it. If it’s a day you don’t work & get to lounge around, don’t take it. That’s my best advice. I remember going through the withdrawal process from Adderall after being on it for over a decade…it’s terrible & so painful I ended up in the ER. Now I take it at times I know I’ll need it.
I am a white male and I acanthus get an appointment for diagnosis, why should any of that make any difference to the issue. I crisis is a crisis end of.
I'm diagnosed, but it took a while. Impacted my uni year massively. Also white male. When people are emotional they tend to reduce things or simplify them, try to be understanding to her, we're all in this together.
Everyone is now prescribed ADHD meds. ADHD is now the trendy thing to be diagnosed with. Lots of people are being prescribed these, is it like depression where the pharma companies come up with the defined criteria and guess what we all,have it.
Exactly. So much of it is environmental by choice. We didn't have any of these things when I was growing up and we turned out being smarter than these kids.
@@michah321 Better yet if you can't realise it damages your brain no one should say a thing. It will make it easier for my kids to take your kids jobs when they are useless from tik tok

I don't understand the part of this video about drug dealers not asking you if you have a prescription. Why would they? They're drug dealers!
Exactly 🤣

Happening in the U.S. now too... so i maybe if medications are being sent from the US to the UK, we're starting to be impacted
This is a great and informative piece, one of the best I’ve seen from this channel!
2:02 not just these groups it's everyone. But I agree with her conclusion.

The nationwide shortage of stimulant medications approved for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remains unresolved
What happens if nowhere in my town has them in stock ??? Can I go to hospital pharmacy ,
@trip_worlds2¿¿,,
How can there be a shortage of medication??? Can't companies just make more? It's not made of moon rocks!
It's government restrictions, they put a limit on production

No it's just the pandemic broke a lot of barely functioning adhd people's coping mechanisms
If You're doctor checks your phone and youve been using tic tok, your perscription should be cancelled

@@AceRamonemaybe you should have your Internet privileges cancelled lad
