Reply To: Dopamine not the problem?

Heh…

In my situation, it doesn’t seem to matter whether the doc prescribes the stimulants or not, my insurance doesn’t want to pay for them.  The only script I’ve actually been able to get filled so far is strattera, and it didn’t do anything but make me irritable, mainly because of the side effects and the fact that it wasn’t helping my symptoms any.

Been fighting with the insurance company for two months now on this BS.  It’s not like Ritalin is an especially expensive drug, or an experimental one.  In fact, it’s a whole lot cheaper than strattera, which has only been recently approved.  I don’t understand the thinking there.
