What can we do about the FDA controlling the amount of adderall they are allowing the pharm comp's to make and release? I took a written questionaire by a psychologist that was quite long and it confirmed by score that i had adult ADD, i also suffer the hyperactivity. Who in the hell does the FDA think they are that they can just order a 'long term' hault on the manuf. of this med? Shire is now raising their cost of the generic and offering less discount's for those of us without insur. NO controlled substance should be stopped cold turkey. If one were to want off the drug a doctor would prescribe less mg's and frequency of the med. Not only are those of us who take the med legally suffering from an abrupt hault in our system we are performing less than in our jobs, social life, and our ability to keep order in our finances and stay on top of important monthly date's, bills, and organizational skills!! I am so frustrated by our gov. in the health care of this nation. If I lived in Europe I would not have to be going thru this Hell every month. So when people find out a way to get a buzz or high off of Blood Pressure med's will the gov let people suffer heart attacks and stroke's to stop the street sell?!! Sadly, i would not put it past them.

We lose more and more rights every year. Canada is not all that cold and they have their act far more together where it comes to health care than we seem to. I am so damn tired of the almighty dollar ruling the world.

Many voices get things done, so i suppose i will write my congressman, however my faith in our legal system is next to none. I am sure our disorder and lack of meds to help us co-exist will right at the top of their "things to jump on list"! Wow, disheartened.
