I'm sorry you're having problems with your shrinky-poo. He sounds scared of stimulants for bipolars - I think you'd be wise to take that fine IQ of yours and make a change.

Yeah, I don't know why he cares so much about IQ. My VCI (verbal comprehension index) and PRI (perceptual reasoning index) were both around 150, while my working memory was around 100 and my processing speed was about 105. So, my working memory & processing speed brought down my FSIQ by a lot. I don't know why that isn't seen as a problem.
I also have proof that my attention & concentration are horrible. I took 3 different tests of sustained attention, and they all say my attention sucks. So, if anything, my IQ isn't helping me "fully compensate" for my attention difficulties.
Maybe my pdoc is afraid of stimulants, or maybe not. I have no idea, but he won't budge either way. He's just stupid, and that's why I hate him as a pdoc.
Some pdocs should not be allowed to be pdocs.
