Not sure about pediatric medicine, but I’ve always thought prescribers have been more cautious all around when dealing with addictive medications, e.g. stimulants, opiates, benzos. I had to jump through hoops just to settle on one type of stimulant which has improved my quality of life by a lot. I worry that it’ll be an even bigger pain in the ass once I move states or need to switch doctors.

Often ever since COVID, at both Walgreens and CVS I’ve had to wait a day or two after sending in my prescription due to apparent shortages. Prior to 2020, it was usually ready the day of. Keep in mind though that I’m on Dexedrine, which is way less commonly used than Adderall. Perhaps the mixed amphetamine salts have been much simpler to get.
