It appears that this type of mixed response is fairly common. Both my general medical practitioners were very skeptical and assumed an anti-medication (anti-stimulant) position, where Pdoc has no problem being the candyman. I think if I went to my next appointment and wanted to try some totally different medications...I confident I could convince him to write me a trial Rx.
Sometimes I really wish I had a pdoc that would spend some quality time really critically thinking about what the best treatment option is for me. But....its the real world, they have 2 patients scheduled for every 15 minutes, quality treatment plans are left up to the patient to discover.
