Adderall is in short supply, causing headaches for millions of people who need it to function. A combination of manufacturing problems and a soaring demand have been blamed for the shortage. But, according to a new report by Bloomberg, a secret limit placed on pharmacies dispensing controlled substances is also making it difficult to obtain the stimulant.
