Hello, I believe I have ADHD and I want to go on medication. Can it be done online, or do I need to visit the doctor? I am 43 yr old female and recently laid off. I don't have insurance.

With the end of the COVID 19 public health emergency declaration in mid-May, you will now have to meet in person with your prescribing physician in person at least once. Check the link below for more information:

https://chadd.org/adhd-weekly/telemedicine-changes-for-adhd-following-end-of-health-emergency/

OP - You'll need a ADHD diagnosis first. Just saying it because you are saying you believe you have ADHD - I wasn't clear whether you have a diagnosis from a medical professional.

You can be seen by telemed now. No need to go in the office anymore. Even therapy/counseling appts are now done virtually.

What symptoms u have?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

I’ve been having insomnia lately (around 1 month). Tried the usual, lighter dinners, no caffeine etc. with no improvement…. Have been taking Focalin for +\- 8 months.

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily?
