That’s fantastic to hear that you were able to alleviate those issues! Finding the right person to treat, amazing things can happen.
If I may ask, why did you go through the first approach in the first place?
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoA lot of insurance plans require you to get a referral from your general practitioner before you can see a specialist. If the GP wants to handle it, I’m not sure what else you could do.
- halfcat 2y agoWhen you know better you do better. I was originally diagnosed 20+ years ago. Back then it was even worse, appointments with an “ADD specialist” were 3-4 hours, blood draws, etc and it was all very thorough. So once my meds were stable and not changing, going through my GP (and not having to take a day off work) was an improvement.
- _boffin_ 2y agoI guess one thing I got lucky with was that I got into the federal MTA study when I was a child and then was with it for a long time. Anytime a doc wanted to play games, I’d just refer back to that and it pretty much quashed any issues they had. The changing of meds was and is a horrific experience. I still remember the last time I took Adderall, it made me feel like I was locked in a jail within my own body. Glad I’m now on something else.
