I tried to follow advice about sounding out pdocs about their policy on stimulants.All without exception were very wary. As the terms Adderall, Cyert, Dexedrine, etc. came tripping lightly off my tongue they got even more suspicious, convinced they had a foreign middle -aged speed junkie on their hands and I couldn't get a nay or yay out of any of them. Perhaps they thought I was part of undercover investigation...?
Anyhow, I would like to print out JohnL's bangbang procedure and show it to my doc.But how do I present it to him without affronting him? Because basically I'm saying that, as I have known all along, this 6 wks business sucks. On the rare occasions I have reacted positively, it has always been within a few days. I've resented wasting time and money on medications that I know aren't working. Who draws up these 6 wk guidelines ? The drug companies? But who am I to tell him, that on the basis of a few weeks on a message board, he should change his approach ? How have others gone about it? Jan
