The reason given for the medication being unavailable is that there are shortages due to manufacturing issues and it is likely to be several months until supply is back to normal.

Both myself and my daughter have ADHD and we have struggled to get prescribed medication for my daughter on a regular basis. This is particularly challenging because with the type of medication prescribed, it is not one that another brand can be prescribed instead because of the titration process and side effects. I am hoping to start taking medication but the Consultant Psychiatrist has said she is unable to prescribe the particular medication she wants to because it is out of stock and when it becomes available those patients already prescribed that medication will take priority which is understandable. This is via a private consultant as well, so not just something affecting the NHS. It makes a challenging condition to live with even more of a challenge.
