Perhaps you are right.
I was only able to get the problem with the Nuvigil corrected, which was my main concern. It is the Nuvigil that makes a noticeable difference in helping me to not sleep all the time. I take the Adderall because the doctor prescribed it, not because I feel I need it.
I was not as concerned when the pharmacist could not fill the Adderall, because I still had a few pills left, probably because I have forgotten to take it a few times. I just stopped taking the afternoon dose, which means I'm getting 30 mg instead of the prescribed 60 mg.
I never really understood why the neurologist prescribed the Adderall. It doesn't seem to have much of a positive effect, but it has noticeable negative effects such as making me less patient. When I take Adderall I have to constantly watch myself that I don't drive too fast or shout at the kids or generally act like a jerk. The worst part of my behavior on Adderall is that I don't perceive myself the way others perceive me. I think I'm being emphatic, and others think I sound irate (really, I'm not an angry person!).
The neurologist has a different explanation for my tendency to treat people badly. He says it is a well-known symptom of my kind of brain injury. When I asked my neurologist to cut the dose of the Adderall and to get me off of it, he doubled my dose instead.
I do what the doctor says, but I was not unhappy when the pharmacist could not refill the Adderall.
