Holy shit. That's sleep aids and wakefulness aids. Fighter pilots might still get Go-No Go pills but these are just staffers.
Fuck you Trump. GIVE US HEALTHCARE YOU HYPOCRIT.
I'll just be over here, still unable to get a consistent pharmacy for my ADHD medication, paralyzed in indecision.
Get your doctor to give you an unusual dosage. I am on 25mg of what I take and have no problems getting it. The pharmacist even said once that I am lucky. They always have my dosage in stock.
For those not speaking in brand names, it's about zolpidem (sedative, used for insomnia) and modafinil (stimulant, used for narcolepsy and as a go-pill) both are controlled substances
Modafinil is just like a strong cup of coffee without any jitters. The only reason it's controlled is because people would abuse it to stay up longer. I was taking two a day when I was on lithium because lithium made me tired as hell, I was still so sleeping 9+ hours at night.
So, the elites get all the fancy meth thy want for free, but I can't get my necessary pain medication for the last 3 years. I'm stuck in a Lay z Boy and an office chair in constant pain while the eople mak8ng the rules denying my care can get anything they want...
This is the worst timeline ever. Read the article, it was Obama and Trumo that both had this happen under.
That's not what the article says. The article says that they interviewed people who worked there between 2009 and 2018. And if you read the linked Stat News article, that one specifically says
There's no mention of wrongdoing under Obama (so far).
