Not the wrong place; stigma is a huge part of why fulfilling these subscriptions is so awful.

I don't understand the connection at all. The pharmacy doesn't know if I'm diagnosed with ADHD but I have all those same problems. Also why would they want to withhold drugs from you? Aren't pharmacies usually parts of money-grubbing conglomerates that just want money out of you? What is in it for them to use "stigma" as a way to reduce service to you? Conversely, can you imagine the blowback if this were discovered to be the case?

It's not stigma against you, personally. It's stigma against ADHD-havers in general that encourages policy-makers to keep the system this broken.

> Also why would they want to withhold drugs from you?

Stimulants are bad drugs!!

Though the pharmacy itself is more worried about getting in trouble for making things too easy, because the laws are that awful.

> Conversely, can you imagine the blowback if this were discovered to be the case?

I imagine it to be quite negligible.
