My therapist referred me to a PNP for expert evaluation after he noted that I had some ADHD-like symptoms. The PNP had a lot of experience with ADHD and gave me an extensive interview and a couple of ADHD instruments (one was the CAARS). Then I started on Wellbutrin. Later we added Vyvanse. I am doing great on that combination. They have really helped with my symptoms.

imapatient, did you ask your T why he told the pdoc not to put you on meds? My ADHD-like symptoms are not as severe as some people's and consequently, I take lower doses of meds. But they still help me even though I'm not an extreme case. Do you think your T didn't think your symptoms were strong enough to warrant medication? Could it be he thought that you were coping quite well without meds? What do you think?
