Bottom line is it depends on which doctor you go to. I don't mean which specialty, but the individual.
Although I doubt any doctor will write you a script on your first appointment for controled meds.

actually genarr, i have to disagree with you (which is probably the first time i ever have, so don't bust my chops about it). in my experience, doctors give this stuff out pretty easily. in fact, i have been offered prescriptions for dexedrin (sp?) and adderall by just filling out simple questionnaires. and its REAL easy to fill those out to get the script. i had a friend who visited with a doc concerning ADD issues, and upon leaving his first visit, he left with a prescription for 60 mg/day, which is a TON! it is ridiculous. that amount of adderall would change someone's whole personality. its almost scary.
If you suffer from adult ADD, then check out the new med, Strattera. It is just as effective as the class II controlled substances Ritalin and Adderal, but safer. Lastly, Strattera is not a controlled substance.

Yeah I'm more interested in Adderall or Ritalin than Stratera or Concerta. I'm worried that if the doc decides to give me a drug I'm not interested in taking or one that I dont feel will be as effective I wont have any say in the matter.
I guess if the doc wants to give me Stratera I really can't do anything about it.
I'm going to call my regular doc and see if he wants me to come in or if he just refers me to someone else.
The only reason I haven't gone yet is that I am waiting for my new medical insurance card to show up in the mail, it seems like it is taking forever.
