I have ADHD and I take adderal. Recently I have run out of it, and the refill cost $400! We donīt have insurance at the moment, so we canīt pay for it right now. Iīve had many many days with out my adderal, and it is miserable! Iīm extremely drowsy, canīt sit or stand up straight for long, I can get very uncontrollably hyper. I donīt do very well at school without my medications, because of the hyperness, and the drowsiness, and the drowsiness is terrible, I can get a very good night of sleep and Iīll still be very drowsy with out my stupid adderal! Itīs not fair! $400 for 60 pills? Iīm doing very well in School, I havnīt gotten in trouble in two years, Iīm getting a B+ or higher in everyone one of my classes, so if I miss a day I should be fine, but I canīt help but worry. I should go to school, but with out my adderal I wonīt last very long, Iīll be unable to pay attention, Iīll have moments of extreme hyper activity (very bad), Iīll feel like Iīm still dreaming for the most part, and I could get sick. One time earlier this year I ran out of my Sertaline (Zoloft) and hadnīt been able to take it for about three days, my doctor gave some other thing, like an anti anti withdrawal drug to take, I took it one day and I was OK, but the third day I went to class. I was fine for a while, until I became very dizzy, and my stomach began to feel weird, I kept getting up and feel back into my chair, I than told the teacher I wasnīt feeling well, and he told me I was very pale, so he walked me to the office, but near the stairs I passed out, and next thing I know Iīm in the office, and Iīm very very hot and sweaty, I couldnīt move very much, I then throw up and felt very weak and sick. Turns out this was due to me not having my medicine. I think I should maybe stay home, but I donīt really want to miss school, even though I probably wouldīnt last. Please Help! Whatīs the best course of action?
Thank you.
