Recently relocated to a new state, and it has taken some time to get settled. Seems like there is a lengthy wait to see a new psychiatrist in my area for medication management. Has anyone tried online platforms like Grow Therapy, MedVidi, etc., for medication? What documentation do they typically require in order to prescribe a controlled substance? How quickly are you seem? Any requirements for ongoing testing to confirm your taking the meds? Not opposed to testing, just want to be aware. TIA!

Once you have your diagnosis and are stable on medication, your primary doctor can manage it from there.

Yes, I've been on stimulants for just as long and I don't use a psychiatrist anymore and haven't for some time. I manage my medication through my primary Dr instead and it has never been an issue. Just offering another alternative because I know the wait time for psychiatrists is long.

I've been using Done for years. I think it's called Mindful now? It's an online provider and they've been great about getting me medication quickly. You have to do an initial consultation, then once a treatment plan is decided upon, you get a month's worth of meds. Then you do one followup appointment to confirm it's working as expected, and if so, you're good for a year. The only weird thing is that you have to request a prescription refill each month, instead of having it handled automatically. Not a big deal, though - you just hit a button in an app, your provider typically approves same day, and you're good to go. The membership is like $69/month, which might be on the high side, but the convenience is hard to beat.

I had trouble getting the scheduled medications I need when I moved and tried using telehealth platforms, despite having very long prescription histories etc. I ended up needing to doctor shop for a primary care doc until I found one willing to prescribe my meds, in the interim months before I found a local pdoc. Urgent care places are much less likely to prescribe what we need. Regular family practices have better odds but are not guaranteed to be helpful. Every telehealth provider I tried wanted to put me on stuff that just flat out didn't work in the past, or refused, and/or wanted to push some kind of pointless talk therapy.

I have tried absolutely everything I can think of to limit distractions during the work day and none of it has worked. Working from home has only made it 100 times worse because now I know there are other more interesting things to be distracted by all around me. What do you do to hold focus during working hours? What will get me to be able to work for longer than 35 minutes without getting distracted?

I keep starting huge projects or hobbies and being intensely into it for about 10 days/2 weeks, after which I forget about it and the project just lays around my house for months until I get interested in it again or I toss it out/donate it. It was fine when I was living alone but my partner is seriously frustrated with how messy the house gets and how much I spend on supplies for these things. How can I be less impulsive OR how can I stay motivated past the 10 day mark?? TIA

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space.
