I went from being able to get whatever med I asked for with old pdoc to a bunch of nothing. My meds really haven't changed in the past 7.5 years. I'm glad about that, but damn I'd like a little adderall.


I think this is why I use “mail service” type drug order. I walked away from all MH meds four yrs ago. So now I pay for my “med” myself.
Someone asked me why I don’t go back to a pdoc & ask to go back on a stimulant since I had luck with it & I feel it’s bec a pdoc won’t just put me on a single stimulant. They’ll wanto add other antidepressants & other crap I don’t want. So to go in & ask for a stim I’m afraid I’d look like a drug seeker. No one knows I take this off label med & I wanto keep it that way. I don’t need another label.
