Im Sure I Got ADHD and Cant Legaly Get Adderall? What in KCMO Can I Do About This!?
Question by Rocky E: Im sure I got ADHD and cant legaly get adderall? What in KCMO can I do about this!?
I was diagnoced with adhd when I was a kid but diddent receve medication because of lack of agreement by parrents. As a grown man I have seen many psychiatrests. I have been given every antipsicotic, antidepressant, anxiety and mood stabiliser there is! I have end up on celexa, tegratol and trazodone. I spike the day pills with energy pills “everyday” to keep me going. I am a physical monster “a ex athlete!”This the best combination I have been on. I still have “like in school” a problem with concentrating on paperwork and the smaller things. I was a highschool dropout in the 9th grade. I only got through the 7th and 8th grade because of being a problem and they diddent want me anymore! I have scence taken adderall with my combination of meds and it did wonders! Everything came in tune! Suddenly everything became interesting and clear! I have talked till Im blue in the face to my doc but they only think Im med seeking! I am not a drug abbuser! I cant swich doctors because of lack of insurance. Im not rich! I got a wife and kid to take care of! I am going to class now to get my g e d. I have had the tests to see where I am, and I am terrable! I have much trouble reading a page and then reading the other page questions then filling in the dots on the 3rd paper. I loose track of everything and try reading everything over but only have a time limit! Adderall combined with my other meds clears this problem up and allows me to learn! I have a person to get them from, but I worry about consistantcy and getting in trouble! What do I do? Im not got much money, Im trying to get my g e d to better things for my family and still have the same problem I alwayse had! Who knows a slideing scale adhd doctor or something in Kansas city Missouri? Or anything I can do! Please people, throw me some ideas!

A lot of people abuse those types of drugs, so I’m not surprised that your doctors are being difficult, plus the fact that you’ve been on so many other meds. I know you liked Adderall, but the truth is, everyone focuses better on those drugs. If you want to convince your doctor that you do have ADHD, you should look up the symptoms that mental health professional make diagnoses from. You have to have had symptoms from before you were 7 years old. You have to have trouble focusing in multiple areas – not just school, but school, work, and in personal conversations. Go to the library and find the DSM-IV-TR. That’s the official diagnosis manual. I’m sure you can google it too. Other than that, I don’t know what to tell you.

Your doctor probably thinks it’s not the right medication for you. Maybe your doctor is right.
