#2Outage of an organic compound like that is not something that I could see happening, ever.
Why would someone put out an article that scares patients who take this to be sane and productive and feel in control of one's time? Fearmongering to clickbait? Taking advantage of clinically confirmed impaired impulse control?

I wouldn't call it fearmongering. The shortage is real and has been happening for months. Those affected are likely aware of it.

Well, it's happening. It's a fact, so the premise of your comment is false.

I haven't gotten a prescription of extended-release Adderall filled since November. If you're sitting on some maybe share the wealth, because this sucks.

#9“The letter said the DEA would ensure that “the manufacturing of controlled substances used to treat ADHD is driven by a legitimate need and not improperly driven purely by profit motive, pressure from marketing firms, or a desire to obtain more market share – all factors that led to an oversupply of opioids during the prescription opioid crisis.”
As much as I hate to say it, this is fairly responsible behavior by regulators, who are likely betting that people without a real need will simply churn when it gets tougher to find some.
That said, it is sad that those with a disease that makes it difficult to plan and execute have to do exactly that to get their treatment.
