Yup, I picked them up today. Tomorrow is my first dosage.

In my mid 20s I was told I was too high functioning for meds. That was a long time ago in a very conservative area that doesn't in general believe in mental illness.

I've been quite successful without them. I'm an executive as an example. But this job I'm struggling more than I have in decades, in some ways I feel like I'm in my early 20s again.

With some encouragement from the ADHD community here I gave it a go. The first provider wasn't helpful at all. The second one, bingo!

Advocate for your needs. The first person wanted to play the "let's do several years of habit training" first. I gave her direct feedback in the second session and pushed for what I needed. I got the reference to the right person. He saw right away the path I was on and it was pretty straight forward.

    my issue is insurance. its a cat and mouse game between providers and insurance. providers will only take referals from within network but then not all providers in the network take the insurance. im on a break as its a busy time but hoping to push some more after thanksgiving.
