I have never seen this warning before. Any one know when this became a thing?

I have taken Adderall for 25 years.

At least it doesn't say it causes addiction. Oh I forgot, they call it substance abuse disorder now. How does it lead to alcohol use disorder?

My doctor is closing his office June 1 and I got my last fill today. I have been unable to find a psychiatrist. I am over 65 - rule out one I called. I also take Xanax 0.5mg-- rule out the second one (doesn't prescribe it). Third one didn't call me back. Fourth one, I got off my insurance website --rule out, they said they are not in network.

My doctor is also gaslighting me, or at least his office woman is. She said he can't prescribe schedule II because he is closing his office. Uh, he still has a license. I asked for one more fill, she said nope. My doctor has never been like that but he had allowed the office woman to answer any questions. She said ask my PCP. Gah, if my PCP could write Adderall why would I be driving to another county and paying myself.

Ranting here. I am running on sheer anger.

Edit: I live in Florida which has very strict prescribing guidelines. I have 29 years of records from my psychiatrist and testing from a Doctor of Psychology. I would rather quit the Xanax than the Adderall if it were not for the probable withdrawals

I have a Medicare Advantage Plan, not the best insurance.

I had mental health SSD prior to turning 65.

I was just looking at a label for Mush overnight oats. There is so much info on the label, but we know nothing about what is in our medication. This is nuts!

Food and Drug Administration oversees both but requires all the info for food.

I'll bet that's due to consumer demand over the years.

Something else I noticed on a protein bar I eat. There are suddenly peanuts in them. Whole peanuts. The package looks exactly the same but the ingredients are different. Yet we don't get to know what's in our meds because it's a trade secret. What??

I'm not allergic to peanuts but many people are just as they are allergic to dyes or certain chemicals.

Maybe something to include in an email or letter to your congressperson.

Can you imagine buying any processed food without being able to know what is in it. Even cosmetics have to list ingredients on the label. This is bass ackwards.

Edit: typo
