Why the facetious tone? Where scofflaws are concerned, I’d expect you to be entirely on his side.

I suggest going back into the casino and looking for someone who is _really_ paying attention. Then, you’ll know who took your Adderall and you can just go up and demand it’s return.

Easy peasy.

Being off his Adderall, I suspect the OP has lost his ability to focus on this thread.

No, that’s about a month’s supply. I pay $35 for that amount. Thing is, since it’s a controlled substance, he probably won’t be able to refill it for a month. If his pysch is like mine, she writes fill dates on his scripts.

Of all the stories I’ve ever read on this board, this has definitely been one of them.
