You need to take The Pill every day to be protected from pregnancy. If you skip some pills you need to use "back up" protection such as condoms.

The Pill is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when used daily as directed, this protection drops to 90% or less when pills are skipped. If you continue skipping pills you may want to discuss another method of Birth Control with your doctor, the Patch and NuvaRing only needs to be replaced once a week, this may work better for you.

Do you stop taking your birth control if you get your period?

Take your birth control pills every day that you have a pill in the package. Some pills are designed to be taken for only three weeks out of the month, but most have enough pills to take one every day.NO! Take all of the pills every month, whether you have your period or not. Start the new packet the following day.BCPills only work if taken everyday, missing pills even occasionally will make the effectiveness drop.You may find after taking the pill for some time that your periods become light or stop all together, continue taking the pills as directed.

Can a doctor legally write a prescription for 20 mg of adderall twice a day and then tell the patient to only take 1 a day to save the patient 1 month's copay?

Yes he can do that. As long as he did not prescribe over a 3 month supply on a single prescription, it is fine. By law, C-II medications, such as Adderall, can NOT have any refills, meaning the patient must return to the Dr. everytime a refill is needed to obtain a new prescription. A doctor can write up to a 3 month's supply of medication on a single prescription, BUT insurance companies will only PAY for a ONE month supply of medication at a time. If you pay out of pocket, you can get all 3 month's worth on a single prescription. Therefore, if a doctor was to write you a single prescription for 60 Adderalls at 20 mg each (20 mg of adderall ONCE a day), the insurance company would only pay for 30 pills, since that is a ONE month supply (1 pill/day x 30 days = 30 pills) By writing the prescription as 2 pills/day, the insurance company will pay for all 60 pills, since they will be under the impression a one month supply is 60 pills (2 pills/day x 30 days = 60 pills). Not illegal, just sneaky (& smart)
