Cat,
There is a national supply issue with ADHD drugs that stems from how the pharma companies are authorized in advance to produce certain amounts of the drugs, but supply has been outstripping demand for several years now. So part of the problem may be at the wholesale supply end. I know parents who drive to Kona, and one even had to fly to Oahu, to get their kids the meds they need to be able to keep it together in school. The government is so afraid people will use these drugs for recreation that they make it really hard for legitimate patients to get what they need.
There is a certain irony to this on an island where ice is readily available for people who want to fry their brains with speed.
