there needs to be a modified version. there's a broader/deeper issue here around how society/markets decide to implement evidence based guidelines.
FDA must immediately reinstate the Ryan Haight act. it is clear that for many of these services a majority of visits are leading to the prescription of a stimulant/benzo. Compare that with the single digit % of actual psychiatry visits for concerns over adult focushttps://twitter.com/WillManidis/status/1444669314922160132 …

Agree completely. Reinstatement is the wrong answer, tele-prescribing can be done responsibly and btw way more than amphetamines are at stake.

what's your concern about overuse of stimulants? Because the war on doctors who prescribe opiates led to so much unnecessary suffering and death among chronic pain patients.

I want to point out that ADHD is defined as making hoop jumping hard so every hoop will discourage more actual patients than drug seekers, but that's not unique for schedule 2 drugs. Chronic pain and anxiety also make it hard to seek help.

I thought telemedicine docs can’t prescribe scheduled substances. They can’t even prescribe gabapentin, let alone a benzo. What exactly are you referring to?

They can now

V frankly I agree with you, as someone who is actively using this insane loophole. Got my doses raised like crazy w/ no questions asked (literally get almost 50mg daily lmao), have a huge addy stockpile on hand.

In general “ADHD” spiking bc of TikTok-style self diagnosis + real loss of focus across population, but that’s a function of media environ; actual solution requires systemic change in how we use internet, speed is a stopgap. Imo, most ADHD cases are BS, focus is built like muscle
