    Also don’t forget your mandatory call to the doc each month for every refill
    and don’t forget to call a day early when it lands on a weekend
    and don’t forget to setup the mandatory appointment every 6 months
    and don’t forget to actually go to the appointment
    and don’t forget to schedule a drug test once every whatever-amount-of-time it is for your state
    and don’t forget to not eat or drink or take the medication the morning of the drug test

    Cause if you forget just 1 of those they’ll obviously have no choice but to deny you the medication you’ve been taking every day for 10 years. But you understand because punishing disabled people for mistakes/crimes of able-minded people (who don’t find those things challeging), is clearly the only option they have.

        In certain states in the US they require a drug test to make sure you are infact taking the medication yourself. Its almost like a reverse drug test; you get in trouble if you’re not taking drugs.

        So I guess also don’t forget and/or try to get off the medication otherwise you’ll fail the drug test and also loose access.

          The punishment for not taking the drug is that they don’t let you take the drug?

          That makes as much sense as suspending a student for not attending classes.

          You’re just making the problem worse.

        They’re primarily checking for proof that you’re taking the medication.

        • If levels are too low: they assume you’re not using it, and if you’re not using it you must be selling it.
        • Levels too high: you’re abusing it.
        • Levels of something else (usually alcohol or cannabis): you’re a junkie.

        All three can get your prescription revoked, and the testing requirements change based on the weather and what your doctor had for breakfast last Tuesday.
