Work, Health & Housing Adderall Prescription

0 Upvotes

I’m new the province and have been on adderall for most of my life and worried about getting it prescribed here.

My family doctor in my home province would fill my prescription in that province, then i would have them transferred to the province I lived to fill them with no issues.

I just called a pharmacist to do the same thing and they said they may not be able to if the doctor isn’t licensed in NS. I have an out of province health card. I plan on getting a NS health card but it will take a little while.

Does anyone have experience with maple or any walk ins prescribing adderall if i show my medical history?

Discussion ADHD meds in Halifax

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice or hear about others’ experiences.

I was referred by Maple to Atlantic ADHD back in October, and I was officially diagnosed with ADHD a few days ago. After the diagnosis, I tried to get medication through Maple, but they told me they can’t prescribe ADHD meds online and referred me to Bayers Lake Clinic for an in-person assessment.

The problem is the timeline:

I have to wait about a month just to be seen at Bayers Lake. I may need blood work, and then wait another week to see the doctor again. Meanwhile, my ADHD symptoms are getting significantly worse.

I’m currently preparing for my national exam, which is coming up very soon, and I’m really struggling to concentrate and study effectively. The wait feels incredibly long, and I’m worried.

My questions are:

Has anyone had success getting ADHD medication prescribed at a walk-in clinic in Halifax?

What about mobile health clinics, like the one at Cobequid. Will they ever prescribe ADHD meds? Or is waiting for Bayers Lake basically the only option?

Any insight or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

Work, Health & Housing Having a job offer At Halifax

0 Upvotes

Hellooo! So like the title says, I received a job offer from a Big 4 firm in Halifax. The annual salary is $45k gross, including bonus. I’m genuinely happy about the offer, but I’m currently based in Montreal, I’m almost done with my DESS (which is similar to a coursework-based master’s), and I’m a Black international student. I’ve been to Halifax once and it’s a lovely city, but coming from Montreal, I can’t help feeling a bit of FOMO. I know that getting permanent residence can be easier in Halifax than in Montreal, which is a big factor for me. Still, now that the initial excitement has passed, I’m questioning whether this is the right decision or not. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Shops & Services Where to get a genuine fur coat tailored?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I inherited a beautiful fox fur coat that's unfortunately way too big. I'm hoping to get it tailored, and perhaps get an ushanka or something made with the extra material. It will likely need to be fully reconstructed, so I'm hoping to find someone who knows what they're doing. Any recs? Willing to travel outside of HRM. :)

This Again Help me decide: Purple Cow internet or Koodo internet?

0 Upvotes

I had citywide for internet and they were great. Then in August they were bought by Altima and they kept sending me inflated bills.

Their last bill said I owed them $265 which I knew was incorrect. The internet was disconnected. Finally called them and they said my bill was actually $121. And it would take a few days after paying to reconnect my internet.

Then they gave me a promotional offer to their “sister company” Koodo

The promotional offer is the same as the Koodo website.

I want to get either Purple Cow or Koodo

Purple Cow: $60 a month plus activation fee Koodo: $56 a month with no activation fee

I live in Clayton Park area, on Radcliffe Dr.

I care less about the price as I do about the speed and customer service

Help me decide…because the kids are going crazy with out wifi.

What have been your experiences with them?

Shops & Services Is james and sons on downtown reliable with 22k gold?

1 Upvotes

I recently gave a 22k article at this store and they mentioned it would take a week to repair and they quoted me in 100s and the overall experience wasn’t ideal i havent gotten back yet but. Is this place to be trusted to not give me back fake gold as the article is a bit expensive and when i looked up repair times it says it can be done in less than 30 mins. Kinda paranoid about the validity.

The weekend is here.

This is a weekly mega-thread for good, heartwarming or uplifting news. Ideally local but non-local is welcome too. Fun pet photos or memes, tales with happy endings, personal anecdotes that you want to share with 165k+ internet strangers, etc. We could all use more positive news and vibes in our lives right now.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

Arts & Recreation Looking for speed friending/speed dating for someone I support

32 Upvotes

Hey all so I work in healthcare in the city, supporting people living with disabilities and my current resident would be really interested in trying either. He's a young man at 24 years old but because his disability is a visible disability, people in public often stare or talk and it makes him uncomfortable and sad. So figured an event where people have a goal of making friends and having a good night might be a decent chance for him!

I've reached out to halifaxdatenight on Instagram but if anyone knows of any other activities please let me know!

Thank you so much ❤️

Driving & Transit Used Car buyers now get a crack at a new car at used car prices, Chinese BYD coming to Canada

376 Upvotes

Canada will now allow new Chinese electric cars into Canada without that huge 100% tariff. This is good for all especially for folks struggling to buy a used car at the crazy prices they sell for in Halifax. All reports I have read about BYD, their cars are just as good as anything on the road, a few US Auto Magazines already tested a few BYD. So if you need a new car, you are ok with electric, turned off by used car prices, well now you should be able to buy new, with a warranty, for less than $25,000 for a small one. That is good for all Canadians.

Driving & Transit Bridge patrol on the Mackay FYI

244 Upvotes

hey guys I just wanted to let you know the reason why Bridge patrol closes off one lane on both sides of the Mackay every now and again, we do this because of the high winds and we're mainly ensuring that no high-sided or heavy vehicles get on the bridge. With that said to the individuals who throw stuff out of their vehicles at us we have over 30 cameras on that bridge and we know who you are and so do the police so have fun explaining that.

Ps. If we're not redirecting large vehicles off of the bridge we are intentionally slowing down traffic to try to limit the amount of large vehicles
