I have been taking Adderall for 10 plus years, the doctor I have now is my regular PC (1 year prescribing) I have ADD and PTSD which I take a low dose of Prazosin for at night. For an entire year I was never UAed, this past month I went to pick up my prescription and was told I would have to do a UA before I got it. The nurse explained they are testing everyone, but Im not too sure on that?
Anyway, I got a pretty good relationship with my doctor, but when I asked him to up my prescription to a hire dose because 30 was not working as well as it use to, he said that was as high as he could go. I have been on higher doses. I take 2 10mg in am and 1, 10 mg in the afternoon. I was UAed and the test result came back I had zero in my system, which was correct because I ran out 2-3 days prior which is kinda typical. I have MyCharts so that how I know what the test results are.
Anyway, a few days latter I went in for my normal monthly checkup and nothing was even said about it. I didnt want to point it out.
But I feel its crap to make anyone feel bad for taking a needed prescription. I know thats not their intentions, Im sure there are a ton of people out there that abuse them. But now I feel like I will get randoms and I know I will fail each one because I run out sometimes. Other Times I meditate my way though my issues and I can take less. I just hope this doesn't become an every month thing.
In addition I recently filed for Disability for PTSD and ADD, so I wonder if they are covering their own butts. Who knows...Anyone have any similar stories or advice..Thank you for this awesome community, wish I would of found it prior to signing the contract!
