Thanks mybestkids. I think I could have got the stimulants from her if I really pushed. But she didn't recommend them for a first pass attempt at medication, and I agree with her approach to try to explore a bit and tease out what is happeningwith me. I was also OK with her choice of wellbutrin, for perhaps the very stupid reason that was the drug she prescribed in my dream, so I felt like it was meant to be. Or some totally unscientific reason like that.

Make sure she gives you testing for adults.

Wellbutrin is also a med that doesn't cause weight gain I think?

That's very interesting. I told my T about this. I would share this dream "coincidence" with no one else I know (I think he liked it when I told him that), and he said that is a sign of clairvoyance. I'm not sure how to respond to that--it might be a little too "out there" for me. He says I am a very intuitive person and that sometimes such people are also clairvoyant. He said also that those who are clairvoyant often suffer from PTSD, so that would fit with my background.
I didn't really understand this connection, but he said something about trauma sufferers having to become almost clairvoyant to avoid real and perceived dangers.
