CASE STUDY: Parkyr Litchfield Parkyr Litchfield Transcript Hiya doc. I’m Parkyr—with a y. So my old doc … well, he’s not all that old, but he was my doctor since I was born, he can’t see me anymore because he’s only a pediatrician. And I’m 22 and an adult. And I need a refill on my ADHD meds, so I got a referral to you. What I need is Vyvnase. I’ve had to ration them because I couldn’t get the refill right away. So I saved my pills for test days. I’m at the tech school—I’ve got most of my core courses done, and now I’m focusing on the pipefitting courses. I’m going to get my associate’s degree. If I can make it through the classes, which has been tough without the med. I was diagnosed back in grade school. I think I was about 9. Mom says it made all the difference knowing what was going on with me. They tried a bunch of different meds. They’d work for a while, then not so much. So Mom kept saying I needed higher doses. I don’t remember all the different meds, but Vyvanse seems to work the best. I’ve been on it for years, at least since I was a senior in high school. I’ve tried both stimulants and non-stimulants. The stimulants always worked better. I think that covers it. How about that refill now?
