For adderall, would u just go to ur general doc and he’ll make an assessment & hook you up, or he’d refer you out to a specialist? I’m in need of some low dose to boost focus, but don’t wanna jump...

Do you have ADHD? You sound like you’re drug-seeking. A psychiatrist can diagnose you with ADHD and adderall is generally the first thing they try

I have and it did, but not substantially. Have you tried any meds?

So you want to do this for 30 years and take more and more as you build up a resistance? Better ways and healthier ways.

through hoops and see a bunch of different docs. Would appreciate any insights

I got mine from my regular doctor. It was a low dosage. I just explained the situation and how it applied to my life at the moment. Wasn’t hard at all.

Thanks for the insight! Makes sense. Which is what I think will happen (getting recommended to a psych) if I ask my doc, but I’m gonna ask him anyways and see what he says.

My PCP doesn’t diagnose, so I went to the psychiatrist... I did a long assessment, and then went through every question with an NP while I assume the psychiatrist was watching, and then had to talk with him. I think most doctors that should prescribe it can tell if you actually have it and won’t “just give you a low dose to help focus.”

They also started with Vyvanse because it’s harder to abuse and very $$$$$.

Thanks for sharing. I’m more after it on the abusive side seems like chasing that focus boost honestly

Let’s just say I have a dr who is willing to let me take a very proactive approach towards my medication management.
