Re: I was just told that Adult ADHD didn't Exist….

So for the update.

After seeing the Dr. Duck (qwack) I got mad…(Don’t know if you got that by my post) and I started looking up doctors on RateMD. I got a list of them in my area and started calling…6 months at best.

I took a morning off work (I love my boss) and went to see my GP as a walk in and said that I just couldn’t wait 6 months. She said that she still didn’t feel right Rxing Stimulants but wondered if one of the other doctors would. Eureka her colleague has several ADHD patients. She asked if I would mind be transferred to this doctor…Well DUH Absolutely. She started off by asking me to describe my life (something Dr Duck didn’t do) and I apparently described the same thing every other one of her ADHD patients said.

She started me off on 20mgs of Adderall XR and after my apt the other day we DISCUSSED altering the meds. She actually asked for my opinion. Now this the Doctor I was waiting for. At least there is progress. I tell everyone that Now the Work begins!!!

Thanks for the Recommendation Dr. J I’m glad I didn’t have to use it. It might be an idea to post that somewhere where someone else in Calgary might see it. Here is a real glut here in this city of qualified doctors who feel comfortable with ADHD and its treatments.
