Doctors appointment tomorrow for Adult ADHD Evaluation. Cross my fingers. I want to be normal, gimmie the Adderall.

It's funny since I touched Adderrall I want nothing to do with anything else. I wished I could go into my appoinment and talk to the doctor and tell her everything. As it turns out I don't even knwo what I am going to say. I would love to say hey I have been taking adderall for about two months now and have seen improvement in my energy, my moods, my motivation, my attention........like everything. I no longer even care about Narcotics which was before I found the Add. And I don't snort it, I don't take fifty at one time. I take ONE, Just one, and I don't get high off it. I feel normal. Absolutly perfectly normal. I want to go in there and tell the doctor that I am going to get it somehow, somewhere no matter what. And that I feel because I don't abuse it, and trust me, i know what it is to abuse drugs, and because it is so ILLEGAL and I would be TOTALLY SCREWED to get caught with it I feel I should get a prescription. Why not? I have tried prozac, paxil, zoloft, seroquel, wellburtrin, depakote, lithium, buspar, topamax, lamitical...And none, not one made me feel normal. I don't want to go and play a game and hope I made the right move. I don't like to lie, I hate lying, I can't lie, I hate liars. Is it stupid if I jsut go and say hey look I've been self medicating with Adderrall and I would really like it if you could save me money and a prison sentence by just writing me a prescription because it is the only thing that I have found that works for me. That improves my mood. Other then the last two days, I have not been suicidal and have improved in my work and my home. Is it really stupid to tell them that there is no reason not to give it to you? I mean, what would be the reason not to? Most ADDults use drugs to self medicate until they find the stimulates to make them normal. SO buy not giving it to me because I have a prior drug history would be senseless. I can honestly say I haven't done any drugs other then adderall in the last couple months. Not like before. I love it the feeling of not wanting to be messed up all the time. The adderall keeps me at a steady consistent level where I do not even crave anything else. And It only takes one. I feel like it is my prozac. WOULD IT BE STUPID TO TELL A DOCTOR ALL THIS? I mean who knows me better then me, and why play games where you can set it straight. If I were diabetic I wouldn't have to fight that hard for insulin. this is jsut different because it is legal speed. But still..... shoudl I be honest?

I'd definitely be honest. I'm sure it's not the first time they've heard that someone has tried someone else's ADD med to see if it worked. Hell, that's how doctors find out if most people are ADD. Give 'em the drug, if it calms them down, they're ADD. If if hypes them up, they're not.

I don't think it's stupid to tell your doctor this. Maybe the doc gives you the scrip, maybe they don't. Either way, I don't think you have much to lose. If the doc refuses, then you're no worse off now than you were before. If they agree, then you can stop getting the meds illegally. I'm not sure what the law says about all this, but I've never heard of a doctor turning any one in or anything like that.

Honesty is good... take it slowly... let us know how the appointment goes (((VL)))

I ended up getting Concerta.... she doesn't like to prescibe Adderrall because of toxicity or something...I was honest about everything except that i had been taking add. I liked her she was nice. Im going to try this out and see if it does the same thing. I hope so.

I'm glad things worked out well for you.

My daughter was on Concerta. It worked better for her than Adderall. Kept her focused without causing sleep or appetite problems.

I took my first dose today. I was very tired and not very motivated. I am hoping that Tomorrow it will actually do something. Hmmm...

[katheryn]

hope you find the concerta good it took my son a while to find a good balance hes know on 2 tablets a day 36mg and a 18 mg as they are slow release hes been happier good luck

Yeah. I called my Dr on Monday. She took me off the concerta nad tomorrow I hope to find out she will put me on something more beneficial. The concerta was not working. I got tired like three to four hours after taking it. LIKE really exhausted. I felt more clumsy. More forgetful. My biggest tiff was forgetting my personal journals at work. Nevermind my checkbook with thousands of dollars in it. THat I don't care....but the journals......I NEVER EVER forget them.....Yeah...so I am off it.........I couldn't believe it made me so tired and out of it. I swear I moved in slow motion......I wonder what she will do next....I am surprised that she did not just increase the dosage.....is it normal to feel so slow and tired on it?
