Judy Carter says her family doctor wrote her a prescription for a year ’s worth of ADHD medication before giving up her practice last April .

Carter has been taking Vyvanse — a stimulant classified as a controlled substance — to manage her diagnosis for years now.

She says her pharmacy told her it could not refill her medications long-term, as there are several restrictions surrounding controlled substances.

Carter is on the wait-list for NB Health Link — a service that could prescribe the medication.
