So this happened a couple years ago. I was working grave shifts at the time. So I kept my ADHD pills on my night stand because it helped me not forget. This was never really an issue for the dogs as the dogs never came to my room as it was blocked off normally. My medication is DextroAmphetamine 20m
There have been some comments about [the death of Elisa Lam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam) recently, so I thought I would write up the extensive research I have done on this case.

My heart sank today at the pharmacy when I saw someone decline to pick up all of their prescriptions because they were out of this person's budget. For their privacy, I didn't approach them to tell them about [Fair Pharmacare](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/pharmacare
It is currently a sweltering 24C (75F) and I am not coping well. I am extremely pasty white British lady and anything over 19C (66F) is hellish for me. Whilst I have always been somewhat averse to the heat, but since combining lisdexamfetamine and venlafaxine I am not coping well. Mentally, the bes
