greentires4me,
You make a good point about different areas of expertise. I almost take it for granted that everyone in the addiction forum is (at least) dual diagnosis. If drinking or using was the only problem there are a lot of sites for that. I think most of us came for another condition and then noticed this forum. I sought out a therapist who has expertise in mood disorders and substance abuse, but my pdoc is really not quite there on substance abuse. When I told her I abused adderall, she was considering putting me on a different stimulant. I had to explain to her it would just be a matter of time until I abused the new stimulant; put me on straterra instead.
