Ummm. No I don't . And I wasn't asking for it for weight loss I was asking for it so I could get my *** off MSF all day and concentrate on other things. Anyways I got into an argument about how I didn't want to gain weight from meds but my anxiety and concentration were really bad and my mom was there with me on the call and she vouched for me how badly things were when I left the house. So he is putting me on Prestiq for anxiety and stresses its weight netrual but can cause manic and anger issues. He says theres like a 5% chance of it happening. I already have the anger issues going for me so theres a win. But he says its the only weight netrual med I'm not on that he's willing to give me. This is the same guy who put me on valium when I said I was completely out of control with my other benzo and running out early, by the way. But I swear I've never asked for concerta before and I don't really ask for much of anything from him. He does things on his own. So I'll see how this prestiq stuff works. Hopefully it helps with my anxiety and doesn't wreck my weight in the process. He was all like trying to be apologetic at the end and he said "but when theres an elephant in the room I need to address it" but I didn't do? Anything. My mom says hes just confused she has never heard me mention concerta before. But it sucks getting yelled at when the other person is in the wrong. It reminds me of when I'd be at work and I would get yelled at by my aggressive boss for things my coworkers were doing.

I too am trying to get on ADHD meds for ADHD symptoms and with frequent manic symptoms/psychosis and substance abuse issues I know I'll never be treated without anything but clonidine (and that's AFTER my case manager finds me someone can get me properly diagnosed). I know because that's what my NP told me when I brought up that I think I have ADHD and was told I do by several therapists and mostly everyone who knows me. I can do therapy for it though........after I get a diagnosis.
