What a terrible clip. There is no in depth explanation to the shortage
Yeah, we need more to go on. ‘A quality problem at the manufacturing facilities’ isn’t going to cut it. It could lead some dumb politicians to argue for ‘changes’ to quality standards in order to resolve the drug shortages.
Mass immigration
In some cases at the federal level ordering a reduction of available medicine
That is absolutely not true.
Wow, looks like everybody’s pretty addicted to ADHD medicine😢
ADHD medication is not addictive for people with ADHD.
But it is as necessary for functioning for a person with ADHD as glasses are for someone who has vision problems.
Yall need a Farmacy, not a Pharmacy… 💯🧘🏾♂️🙏🏽
Legit!
Its all to dive up the price.🤔
True! Since there will soon be a price reduction in Rx’s for Medicare.
That’s due to BIDEN. Failed infrastructure. Failed medical system. Failed administration.
What did you think was gonna happen sending all our money and resources to Ukraine and Israel?
This shortage has been building for five years. That’s three years before Russia invaded Ukraine.
rich people, outsourcing for cheapest labor? selling for 700x its cost, buy from mexico or canada. the world only buys christmas stuff from america, even though its true orgins are from russia. 😐
If you live in Russia, you should be saving as much money as humanly possible and moving… instead of wasting time trying to lie to a world that hasn’t trusted you a long, long time.
and for america, it was only used for greed
All of a sudden??? 🐃
Why is a 7 year old on ADHD meds
Right…
So drug all your kids. Check.
Are you questioning their doctor’s judgment?
Untreated, or under treating ADHD, has lifelong consequences. Prescribing a seven-year-old ADHD medication is completely normal.
MY (uh, seven year old’s) meds are not available.
@@carlyar5281 parent better, no r3ason to drug your kids

Communists are calling the shots, why be surprised at any shortage…with these fools in charge expect plenty more shortages…but hey, no mean tweets…!
And you can thank capitalism for it.
So, you want communism?
But there’s a healthy abundance of 💉💉💉
Thanks to Biden and his administration
Most medications are manufactured overseas.
The video said that the problem is a quality control issue at the manufacturing plants where these meds are made (overseas). That has nothing to do with the Biden.
The Biden Regimes way of “Making It Better”
I found the hack for my ADHD….it’s your diet….remove dyes and sugar from your diets and you’ll feel the change.
Thank the administration.
Oh, get over yourself.
@@tominmtnvw Oh, its you I can’t get over!!
@@diannethomas7057 the drug shortage is over three years old. The ADHD medication shortage started five years ago… so the administration you want to think is from a few years ago.
America is falling apart.
No, America is not falling apart. You are just cynical.
No it’s falling apart in many ways. Simple things like shortages going on 4 years after COVID
@@NETWizzJbirk these shortages started 5 years ago, that’s before Covid.
@@tominmtnvw apparently you have enough money to make ends meet this is not true with all Americans some who has worked all their life at strenuous jobs and now are facing homelessness because Social Security is not near enough
Maybe don’t chase down amphetamines for your child. Wake up to what “ADHD” meds are.
You clearly don’t realize that people with ADHD don’t get high from amphetamines or any stimulant. ADHD is a condition that is due to a different brain wiring. Substances that are stimulants such as nicotine, caffeine, amphetamines, cocaine, and ADHD medication all have a calming effect on the ADHD brain.
😂😂 momma getting skinny on Junior’s speed
@@WhiteRabbit-sq9lc Or selling them. Literally every person I know prescribed Adderall, sells them.
What are the odds that all three of those children in the first story have ADHD?!
There is an extremely strong genetic link. If one parent has it, their child has a 50% chance of having ADHD. If both parents have ADHD, the probability that each child will have ADHD, as well is 75%. So it’s really unsurprising for siblings to all have it.
Real problem: parents addicted to the kid’s ADHD meds 😂😂😂
@@WhiteRabbit-sq9lc if the parent has ADHD, the medication’s aren’t addictive. Stimulants don’t have the same effect on people ADHD, they are actually calming. The first time I took my ADHD medication I fell asleep.
Wow it makes me thankful I live like half an hour away from Mexico where I occasionally go to buy my thyroid & blood pressure medication & go get glasses, dental & lab work…
It is mind-boggling that something like this is happening in the United States. The pharmaceutical companies need to be brought to heel immediately!
What’s so mind-boggling about that? They barely have a health care system to begin with, and what health care they do have is profit-driven! With that kind of twisted backward system you can hardly expect good outcomes.
@@jeris33 We’ve had the sane inadequate heath care system for years, so why only now are we seeing a shortage?
@@einnAnnie big pharma has been busted price gouging, now that Biden administration is trying to end the price gouging they are fighting back any way they can,, muddying the waters with vengeful shortages, next they’ll blame shortages on ” to many regulations”trying to get the government off their back so they can go back to charging $1000’s for $5 worth of insulin.
Where are these free market solutions conservatives love to propagate ? They never appear.
Only under Biden’s leadership. ❤
Most pharmaceuticals are manufactured in India (48%), Europe (22%) and China (13%) with the U.S. only making about 10%. Bring the supply chain home if you want more control of the supply.
This is the best comment on the entire video!
We had just as much control 7 years ago as we do now, so why didn’t we have a shortage back then as well?
🎉🎉Facts!!! America has outsourced everything and then wonder why shortages exist.
@@einnAnnie the shortages started five years ago, but were amplified by the stresses on the global supply chain during Covid.
Funny to me they can make covid vaccines in our country but they can’t make real medicine that helps people. This is all by design we are being replaced by illegal immigrants
The real question is why are so many kids on ADHD meds…
It’s not just children.
Adults have ADHD as well because it’s a lifelong condition. Many adults were never diagnosis children and many are finally getting proper diagnosis once they have children of their own diagnosed who get diagnosed.
Answer: so mom can take speed to get skinny 😂😂😂
not just kids, not just ADHD, i was finally diagnosed with sleep disorder [ narcolepsy ] at age 50,, took me 50 years to find clinical psychologist skilled enough to determine problem combined with improved polysomnagram testing,,,,with adderall i don’t spend all day fighting fatigue and/or falling asleep..most my live i was told to eat better and get more sleep,,didn’t work,, 25-30 years on every anti depressant in the book because always being tired is very depressing..finally i find a medicine that makes me functional for a full day and i can’t get it because all the pharms are out !! my insurance doesn’t cover vyvanse,, even tried ritalin in desperation with no luck,,,BIG PHARMA has proven they only care about profits not people !!
Their health system just goes from strength to strength!
This make me laugh out loud. Blame your senate. They pay billions of money each year for bombs and what not. They funded Israël almost 100 bilions of dollars in a year while america is facing huge crisis like mass shooting, poverty, alchohol an drug addictions,…it is also not about immigration. They immigrations is also caused by the USA.
Oh I can’t wait to see how oatmeal brain JoBama messes this up trying to “fix it “.
😆🫵
One tenth of the money allocated to Ukraine could completely solve the problem with medicines in the United States. But the U.S. government does not think about its own citizens. It thinks only about Ukrainian corrupt officials. Obviously, corrupt officials are closer to the government than their own citizens. Think about it now. And think about it again, when you choose your president, you will see how the Electoral College gave victory to the one who received fewer votes.
It would be interesting to examine the diet of kids diagnosed with certain behaviors. Big money goes to big pharma vs studies on how nutritious foods affect these behaviors.
It seems unbelievable that all of her kids have ADHD and need medication for it.
lol wake up people they don’t care they want us dead 💀
I wonder if some of the shortages may be due to an aging population. The baby boomers are late 60’s to 70’s now… Their health is declining which means more meds. Thinking more demand than supply?
Just blame it on COVID.
I guess I should say reliant on the medication not addicted. more of a mental crutch 🩼
I’ve been home with a child who doesn’t have his ADHD medication for three weeks! We had one that was working but we haven’t been able to get it for ten months! My daughter whose ADD had to drop four college classes because she can’t focus and her anxiety is so high! I have to order medication as soon as three weeks! I get half a dosage then another part two weeks after the first part! I end up unfocused! And I’m supposed to care for everyone without even medication for me!
How did they ignore the cause of shortages of controlled substances? Literally the DEA sets quota for how much of a particular controlled substance(ADHD meds, pain management medications, etc) can be produced. They have been lowering the quota year after year despite an aging population with increasing need for such medications.
We need to stop outsourcing supply and production . We can’t properly control other countries. We need to focus on ours preemptively as well. Like the India eyedrops recall. Barefeet yet. Dirty facilities.
Maybe reconsider adhd meds because they are overprescribed before checking for dietary and lifestyle issues. Also, people might steal a few for themselves.
No reason to yell at the pharmacy staff when it is not available. I am a pharmacy technician. It is beyond our control!
most intelligent people know Big Pharma is to blame ! most pharmacies are understaffed and over whelmed with vaccinations and insurance co. B.S…Meijers near me was hiring pharmacy tech’s off the street and training them,, i thought Pharmacy tech was a 2 or 4 year degree !
Better buckle up because this is just getting started
that one mom with the 3 sons needs to be checked out for munchausen, drugging all these kids to no end, terrible
This is what you voted for. We warned you ever been Watney you for years. Now he’d this warning hundreds of thousands of military aged men crossing or border illegally there coming from all over the world from countries that hate America and we have no idea what their planned all the prisons all over the world have sent there worst criminals over or border they don’t want them And look into it on redacted on YouTube. They’re building a wall in Mexico like ours. But on their side and when you’re interviewing the workers and ask why they’re building it. They say it’s to keep Americans and all the people who came over here from coming back in. Because America is getting ready to collapse and they don’t want it. In Mexico they don’t want those people coming back into their country. Open your eyes, the left has been brainwashed their way. Your t us and do some research for you’ll think I’d wear the second amendment and I would buy food hammer and pew pews and anything you may need to survive the planned demise of America and While you’re at it, check out the Diego report. He died, but all countries and militaries, everybody followed his population forecast for years, he was of the person anyways, he said, by 2025 there won’t only be a 100 million people left in America all america’s allies lose 2/3 of their people, while China and all of their allies stay about the same in population and population growth. That was his last forecast.
You know, I’m sure you’ll survive without your child’s AD HD medication. I mean, it just became a popular thing when technology started coming out cell phones t. VS plop, your kid in front of the TV. Then the 80 HD started years later. Stick a cell phone in their face in their hands and keep it. There’s 247 that way. The phone raises them and not their own parents. They never go outside they never interact with anybody. They never burn off any excess energy. What do you think is going to happen? Why don’t you try raising your kids and letting them go play like kids are supposed to play and taking away their phones. They wouldn’t have as much energy and their brains wouldn’t be fried from the cell phones. I don’t really feel bad for people. Not having your AD HD medication. It’s amphetamine’s They call it math when they make it at home. So you’re telling me your child needs math to be normal. You need to give your child amphetamines to be normal. Let me tell you. I know what it’s like to be addicted to that stuff. And if that means that you get from the doctor are pure and more potent than the s***, you get off the street sometimes so. Wisennup do your research if you care highly addicted to substances. That’s ruined many people’s lives. I feel bad for the cancer patients the blood pressure medication people need, and insulin cry me a freaking river. Looks like you’ll have to raise your child it makes me ill, and I don’t even have nir want children
What’s next this administration is failing on all levels
no drug shortage on Kingston Ave,
Why should I care about anyone else when they don’t care about me🤔
It could be a good opportunity for people to see whether they really need the Medication prescribed by their doctor.
adhd isnt a medical condition. its a survival instinct. you cant expect kids to be able to sit still for HOURS AT A TIME. its not natural. how is it that they think they know whats best for everyone all the time? forget what the teachers are saying too
Biden economics.
Good luck in finding Hydrocodone 10/325! This is ridiculous now!!!

All the Ritalin went to Mar-retardo for the Orange One to snort up his snout! 😂
