Ritalin is highly regulated, so probably the only solution will be through your doctor. There are medical situations like this, which come up, in which it is *impossible* to have any "common sense" resolution. You are in-between a rock and a hard place!
I just went 'round and 'round with a stubborn "by the book" nurse at an outpatient surgery section of a hospital. I wanted to get any prescriptions I might need after surgery ahead of time - she said I could not do that. I asked if I could be wheeled in a wheel chair to the pharmacy after my surgery - she said they could only wheel people to the front door of the hospital. I asked if they could pick up my prescription for me and take my card to pay for it - she said they could send someone to pick it up, but they could not take my card with them! Arrrrrrgggggggg!!!!
