shrizl is this your first appt with the psychiatrist for the ADHD?

this was a referral specifically for meds,per my GP who wont prescribe ADHD meds.. I was diagnosed like 8 yrs ago? but was only ever prescribed wellbutrin (of label use) for it..which I have a weird reaction to.

I'd be pretty psyched if I stopped losing stuff and could feel like I didnt need to save all of my fricken mail so I dont forget something ..and a host of other bullshit ....



I was genuinely curious what people thought of the various meds and how they were initially..like really bad? or no?

 

[shirlene29]

in other words, you want to know what to tell the doc to score some amphetamines?

scoring phets isn't a problem..being productive is

I don't have ADHD but I have some experience with the meds in a person over 16 and honestly, everyone in my life has either ADHD or ADD: My son, first husband, current husband, last two bosses and stepchildren.

Anyway, with younger people the first go to is stimulants, amphetamine salts, which have a paradoxical effect in kids. With adults they try all sorts of other shit, including antidepressants, and usually use the amphetamines as a last line of defense (mainly because of insomnia and BP issues, but plenty of adults are looking for the amphetamines for increased energy and appetite suppression). As you've discovered, when it comes to any type of psychoactive medication everyone can respond differently. My son is a good example, he was variously put on Ritalin, Ritalin XR, Dexedrine and Adderall for his ADHD. Short acting Ritalin gave him the best focus, but utterly wiped out his appetite and he felt like he had no emotions. When it came to long acting Ritalin though, he literally took more than double his normal dose in mg and it had zero effect on him. Dexedrine gave him good focus, less anorexia and didn't impact his emotions. He tried Adderall and that lasted about a week, he started having blind rages, boy scared the shit out of me.

You need a psychiatrist who will listen to your input and take your observations into consideration. If you find one who accuses you of drug seeking, get a new doctor because he'll keep accusing you at every session. Your sessions will probably be short and you need someone who believes that you want clarity of mind, not to get high.
