Wait, what? Do I have to worry about this becoming a real issue in my country? I'm on elvanse.

Over the last couple of months 20, 30 and/or 40mg Elvanse has been out of stock in Denmark at various points. Usually returning after a week or two. Same is true for Methylphenidate in 18, 27 and/or 38mg doses.

How comparable/useful that is to you, I have no idea
