I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go!

However… turns out that Japan has a law that absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don’t really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip.

I’m really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this.

I hate ADHD. I really do.

        Hello from France where Vyvanse still isn’t approved! Every day I read about how amazing it is and I cry

          Sorry to hear that friend. Someone else commented that the patent expired recently and generic versions exist now, perhaps that is worth looking into.

        I loved Vyvanse. I was able to advance at work because of Vyvanse.

        And then out of nowhere my insurance decides, not it’s $350 a month. Back to adderall I went.
