Great. I already had to drive an hour to get my refill last month. Can't wait to keep doing this for another 4 freakin months

JFC. There's an opioid shortage too and for the same apparent reason: the federal government setting limits on manufacturers.

I have cancer and have been on oxycodone daily for many months now. Last time I needed a refill, I almost couldn't get any in time before running out. Got it literally the night I took my last one. Can you imagine dealing with cancer pain AND opioid withdrawal symptoms at the same time? Why should I have to deal with that?

And why should all the families dealing with ADHD have to deal with shortages of drugs to treat that? This whole situation is fucking absurd.
