In my state my psychologist cannot Rx medications. She recommended I see my family physician for a trial treatment of Adderall because after seeing me for a couple of months she's noted I have several of the symptoms. Well I saw my physician and he said he knows very little about ADHD, refused to give me meds without a complete Dx. The options are very limited in our area so he referred me to a Neurologist within his practice who has had some type of psych training???? Has anyone seen a Neurologist for ADHD? What types of test are neurologists likely to use to Dx ADHD? I am sick of the run-a-round. I just want to know if I have it or not. I'm afraid I am just going to tell my story a billion more times and then finally be told by someone who really has no training... Nope you don't have ADHD your childhood teachers were right--your simply stupid --be glad you've made it this far in life.
