Okay. Thanks, brother Scattybird.
Sorry for highjacking this thread you guys, please forgive. Back to the Wellbutrin stuff. And some good news for a change. 
About a week ago (or more I think, I dunno) my GP doc called me back after I called him about changing the dosage of the Ritalin (the generic stuff) Not a good conversation, he didn’t want to up the dosage. I got pissed off and critical about the whole health care system. Took it out on a good doctor by accident. After taking quite a bit of my abuse he said “if you don’t like the healthcare we’re providing, you can go somewhere else” Crap!!!, stunned… I just paused, then said “GOT IT!”. I didn’t really yell, but it was a very angry loud tone. Then I hung up! (I think, it’s a faded crap memory… and mistake, so I thought…) Reading this as I edit this post hurts a little. He’s a good guy.
So a few days later I show up for the ADHD support group the social worker told me about, it’s a Gamblers Annonymous meeting!!! I already talked about that one here, but they invited me in and it was actually a good experience. I’ve never gambled. I talked about my “adrenaline junkie” high risk stuff, they could relate easy. Invited me back too! LOL. I clowned around a little, we do that huh? 
So my GP doctor called me yesterday morning, I missed the call, I was here ramblin on, posting all over this place… at 3:00 I realize I had a couple voice mails, I sometimes don’t hear the phone over the loud music. So I call the doctors office to leave a message, the gal said to wait, she’ll see if he has time to talk to me… Wow!, that’s weird I thought… very unusual for sure! This guy is busy, works his butt off!, GP doctors like this man who take medical/medicare, and probably all the new Obama Care patients too are the real hero’s in medicine. The PA’s & NP’s are too. JMHO. So I actually got to talk to him! Amazing!, he said that he talked to the psychiatrist (apparently he listened to my scream for help disguised in a angry rant the last time we talked) And she/they decided to put me on the long acting ritalin, that’s what I asked for on the last call, after he didn’t want to up the ritalin. And to cut the dosage of Wellbutrin in half, I could pick up the prescription as soon as I get there. It was too late in the day, but heck… I was blown away that he actually helped me at all after I was so mean spirited on the phone last time. He was really hearing the angry ODD part of untreated ADHD. (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) So tuesday I’ll be even more on my way to getting well.
Amazing… It’s insane but I almost feel guilty because I’ve read about how others have been through much worse than I have trying to get diagnosed and treaded. Like on this thread. Check it out. Feel some gratitude and compassion.
