Janet, if you've taken many medications in the past without long term success, your pdoc should be willing to try a stimulant. When I mentioned it to my doctor, he said in no uncertain terms that he would not try them. Solution:..I got a new doctor. Stimulants weren't successful for me but it didn't take long to test them out. I agree with the frustration of having to take a med for 6 weeks to see if it works; and 6 weeks more after that at an increased dose, etc, etc..
Six weeks can stretch out into years with all the drugs they try people on....or at least it has in my experience.
Anyways, if you have worked with your pdocs previously by taking your meds they should be responsive to your suggestions.
Best of luck.
