The simple answer?  American health care sucks, even if you have insurance.  Normally my med is $40.  That is on the very far end of what I can manage to afford.  When I refilled it last week, my total came to $365. 

I’ve now been out of my med for almost a week and today I could tell that it’s almost out of my system.  It’s miserable and exhausting and my emotions are starting to get much more difficult to deal with.  Plus, I’m super tired and my brain won’t shut up so I can fall asleep. 

As much as I enjoy making the “Squirrel!” joke, the truth is ADHD is so much more than just getting easily distracted.  And my med helps me keep it from getting too out of control. 

Fingers crossed my provider can help me find a med I can afford that will work.
