My friends I must say here and below I haven't written since I was on XR and definitely not on the Barr Product much less been able to sit and read or repair a computer like I can? Shoot I need a Techie for that!
They actually have in Mobile, Al. the brand of medication that I was jokingly told in my own county "was out of business" or something like that and "I certainly wasn't surprised that after six stops on the way across our beautiful bay that I grew up on and wonder many times how I managed to survive this long to tell you my life story!" "No I wasn't surprised that in Mobile, Al. a CVS that as many of you are aware is affiliated with at least one if not many of the brave individuals that carry the banner of the ADHD nation "Shire" the maker and owner of the Trademark for a brand of medication" so vilified in my life that only 13 years of successful use of it's cousin Ephedrine and the knowledge that people such as Shire and one Ty Pennington stand up and defend our right to be ADHD, ADD, OCD, or even making it worse the Depression that comes from a seven year fight to get your life back!
I've been down and out for almost four months due to my own stupidity in asking my doctor to consider the "worst of the Evil in generic medications that I have known"! Barr Labs! Cheap it may be but if you plan to work or have a career or even and especially an education cheap doesn't cut it and if your ill physically buy the Name brand with the Trade Mark 1st, please?
The Barr Labs version of Adderall XR as well as many generic medications although enticing because of the low price make me for one worry about the people in this country and others for that matter that are told oh that generic medication is the same stuff and in fact one pharmacist or their assistant told me once "the Barr is the global brand"!
Lord God if that is the case then I should have been on this ADHD page with you writing and enjoying the same benefit that I have enjoyed from over the counter medications but not as dependable or having the duration of symptom control that Shire's products have and I'm sure many of you know that but it is crucial not only for we the ADHD, ADD, OCD, PTSD, or Depressed over the whole affair to stand up and let our neighbors know that the cost of a medication has no bearing on it's worth when compared to the value of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness over a long life span and not a life span cut short because of a generic medication that wasn't found to be "that much different so to speak in the eye's of our FDA!
I am a staunch Democrat and well I have some leanings toward the right as well but if National Health Care is to have a chance it must take into account the importance of people's ability to not only have physical and visual treatment or even audible treatment under controlled conditions that is but also the ability they must have to say "I want the medication that my doctor has written on the prescription" as medically necessary!
Our lives and the lives of our children's children depends on it!
Thus my ADD, ADHD and alike friends and neighbors I am "anti-ADHD and "pro-drug"! LOL! My ADHD has cost me some years of misery both prior to and after I sought treatment but the bottom-line is that a fine group of Physicians and their staff have saved my life! Thank you Dr. Ney, Anita, Nadja, Dr Cantwell and Dr. Bergman as well as Dr Shaikh and Dr. Mace the man that once told me his professor had said everyone in the country could benefit from a little Ritalin- well that may be true but as for me that stuff is almost as bad as Barr and it was probably generic since that was early on in my treatment but feeling ill may come at some point down the road for all of us when taking medication so having that prior to having to ask for the silver Bullet is a privilege when compared to the Nausea and miserable effects of some generic's! I know we all are different and so are those drugs! I have swapped this one for that one more than once and thanks to my doctor and not a few others not mentioned I am now heading in a different direction than I was prior to her help and it is because of an Herbal supplement and a an FDA acting in two different ways of thinking- taking an herbal root off the market- Ephedra. Yet promoting cheap generics which if monitored properly maybe we wouldn't have to be! The 21st. Anything is possible and I hope it's private! LOL!
I'm not perfect and most likely their are many like me so I have one hell of an Idea that I want to see become a reality so another person like myself does not have to spend 7 plus years trying to prove to anyone that they were being truthful although it had gotten sticky and was coming to a point that I needed a person to save my life before I found myself in a worse situation and that idea may take some real work to see as a reality or it may not!
I since I am not a doctor nor a therapist don't have nor have I had a chance to discuss it with my doctor but I hope too one day!
It certainly does not involve taking a person's life away from them on the premise that one roach seen is most likely only just the start of discovering more roaches! I'm one person that can say I'm the only roach! Lord I hope you let roaches into heaven cause I sure have been called one and worse but I'll take the roach designation any day but I stand up and say that many of us are in the same situation and should not ever have to endure 7 years of anything to kill one roach!
God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge and thank you CVS in Mobile for stocking the "real McCoy!"
