i take 50mg generic vyvanse daily. My script is next in line to be filled but they’ve been out of stock for days. I’m almost out of extras and don’t wanna go off my meds (have a job i already don’t like and can’t focus at and don’t wanna literally get fired)

I’ve realized there is old adderall in my bathroom cabinet. Is this a better than nothing option if it comes down to it? I take my meds daily and I have for years, and I’m really worried about the work aspect of things but I don’t wanna risk it and would rather go without if that switch would do more harm than good ://

i go to cvs and live in chicago. i usually take 50mg amneal (which is fine, or at least better than the worst generic i’ve taken since i can’t afford brand). my pharmacy is out of stock and ive done research and found that amneal is listed as one of the brands on a shortage which is why i have to wait for my script and im terrified my pharmacy is going to give me lannett instead which i hateeee. does anyone have insight on whether this could happen or even pharmacies in or near chicago that do not carry lannett and have a different manufacturer?

I want to clarify i did post this elsewhere and it was GREATLY misinterpreted. i am posting this out of concern for the safety of women/members of the lgbtq+ community in boystown. There is a guy approaching women in his underwear pretending to be distressed to get into apartments.

I will first clairify that this man was not visibly on drugs or out of place and he did not give us a choice and forced us to engage (and I am not immediately escalating anything by screaming “NO” and running as someone earlier advised i don’t wanna get beat up lmfao).

so my gf and i (both girls in our early 20s) live in boystown and were walking home from a bar friday night when a young guy (also early 20s) appears wearing only socks and underwear and runs up to the apartment building next to us and fidgets with his phone and the keypad seemingly trying to get in. he approaches us and tells us his clothes were lost at scarlet and his friends won’t let him into their place and he doesn’t know what to do. Typical disoriented boystown gay guy behavior honestly. Then he asks if he can come with us back to our place. I already knew I was not letting a random dude in and I immediately don’t trust that so I give him the benefit of the doubt and offer to walk him back to the bar to get his clothes or to walk him to a bus or train and find him a shirt somewhere instead and he declines. We keep walking and he just straight up and tags along.

He’s not going anywhere so I start asking questions to confirm/dent my suspicions. He is pretty charismatic, did not seem to be on drugs or anything, had makeup on and kept complementing my gf and i’s make up. His answers are expectedly changing: he lives nearby but he also lives in Pilsen, his clothes were taken by straight people at a local gay bar but his friends also had them, his friends are still at the bar but they were at the apt earlier and it’s their birthday and scarlet is celebrating their birthday and he even name dropped a couple girls asking if we knew them (obvs no). i even (tried to extra test him) by making a joke that he’d fit right in at charlie’s in his clothes because he kept talking abt how we needed to get to our apt for clothes and he said he’d never been or heard of it . he also happened to still have a phone but no other personal belongings. The walk was short as we were close to our place already.

as we got onto our street I knew i needed a reason to stop us before we got to the apartment so I looked at his phone and he was switching between lyft (unordered just like driver locations) and google/apple maps over and over. we were in front of a well lit building so i pulled him and my gf over and said let’s stop here, i see you on lyft and my address is tough to get to on there (so that he knew i wasn’t oblivious and that he wasn’t getting near my home) so we stopped. he immediately starts talking abt how he just happened to be on there and he wasn’t actually going to order one since he didn’t have clothes and didn’t want to be outside or something? (Keep in mind everything I did after this was intentionally to offer solutions to his supposed problems that did not involve getting into our house so that he would either somehow take them and prove he was genuine or go away) so i offered my gf to go in and get clothes while i waited with him. this wasn’t good enough either. i told him that if he didn’t want clothes lyft would be fine it’s boystown and he needed to get home but that i couldn’t order one bc i didn’t have money so i am sorry. i even offered him a jacket at some point.

i then looked down and noticed he was still on lyft and the other maps app that, upon closer look, had like a weird blueish screensharey glow to it and i looked at my gf and told him id wait with him outside this random building for a lyft for as long as he wanted and smiled (again, to hopefully get him to back off without running and screaming and potentially inviting violence)

at that point, he gets jumpy and just goes oh sorry ride is here and RUNS off down the street in his underwear (i yelled have a nice night :)) and i hear a car door shut. i made my gf wait with me at the other building for a couple mins just in case, started walking to ours, saw a weird van idling, pulled out my phone like i was on a call, and made us enter through the side door.

I am posting this because guys… stay safe. I know this is unusual behavior but this goes out to any drunk people in boystown just trying to get home safe (because on a friday in boystown, none of this is all that unusual) and it’s quite literally perfectly placed in boystown especially when targeting other lgbtq people likely to want to protect eachother.

(Updating guys i know you don’t talk to strangers at 2am this guy was real fucking pushy and my girlfriend was drunk and is very naturally kind i did what i could)

Update 2: I stand by my actions i was brought into it and i got out without escalating anything or anyone getting hurt. I’m not dumb and it wasn’t my choice and I never believed him

so my gf and i (both girls in our early 20s) live in boystown and were walking home from a bar friday night (technically saturday morning) around 2 am when we stopped in front of a place to look at cats through a window. a couple minutes later a young guy (prolly our age so early 20s) appears wearing only socks and underwear and runs up to the apartment building next to us and fidgets with his phone and the keypad seemingly trying to get in (and having no luck). we start walking again towards our apt and he approaches us and tells us his clothes were taken at a local gay bar and his friends won’t let him into their place and he doesn’t know what to do. He asks if he can come with us back to our place. I offer to walk him back to the bar to get his clothes or to walk him to a bus or train and find him a shirt somewhere and he declines. My gf agreed to just walk him back so we start walking.

I’m already suspicious and don’t like this guy so i start asking questions. His answers are changing: he lives nearby but he also lives in Pilsen, his clothes were taken by straight people at a local gay bar and the bar has them but his friends also have them, his friends are still at the bar but they were at the apt earlier and it’s their birthday and the bar is celebrating their birthday??(it was literally scarlet so what) and he even name dropped a couple girls asking if we knew them (obvs no). i even made a joke that he’d fit right in at charlie’s in his clothes because he kept talking abt how we needed to get to our apt for clothes and he said he’d never been or heard of it 😭. he also happened to still have a phone but no other personal belongings. The walk was short as we were close to our place already and at this point i knew i wasn’t letting him in. he just kept repeatedly mentioning our apartment and getting in.

as we got onto our street i looked at his phone and he was switching between lyft (unordered just like driver locations) and google/apple maps over and over. we were in front of a well lit building so i pulled him and my gf over and said let’s stop here, i see you on lyft and my address is tough to get to on there. so we stopped. he immediately starts talking abt how he just happened to be on there and he wasn’t actually going to order one since he didn’t have clothes and didn’t want to be outside or something? so i offered my gf to go in and get clothes while i waited with him. this wasn’t good enough either. i told him that if he didn’t want clothes lyft would be fine it’s boystown and he needed to get home but that i couldn’t order one bc i didn’t have money so i am sorry. i think i even offered him a jacket at some point. he kept insisting on coming to our house.

i then looked down and noticed he was still on lyft and the other maps app that, upon closer look, had like a weird blueish screensharey glow to it and i looked at my gf and told him id wait with him outside this random building for a lyft for as long as he wanted and smiled. he suddenly just goes oh sorry ride is here and RUNS off down the street in his underwear (i yelled have a nice night :)) and i hear a car door shut. i made my gf wait with me at the other building for a couple mins just in case, started walking to ours, saw a weird van idling, pulled out my phone like i was on a call, and made us enter through the side door.

let this be both a PSA and a question. first of all, what the hell?? has anyone experienced this or knows/knows of this dude or what he was up to? and second of all i think people should probably know.

okay posted on here earlier but i’m doing just about the most tedious data entry task ever and I was told i had to do it because my atty can’t bill for it because the client is bankrupt? i don’t have billable hours but i don’t understand the concept of this - is this normal? i’m not even half done with this task and it’s prolly taken 12ish hours so far in total. it’s related to a state goverment that’s not even our state too - like genuinely what???

(edit since this is happening: i just want to know what’s going on i gave myself a migraine working on this im not trying to ask dumb questions or get downvoted)
