Is this thousand dollar test just filling out a questoinnaire? Seems a bit expensive to meI guess my biggest fear is that I can't take a stimulant with an MAOI so i'll have to stop taking parnate ?
No... my biggest fear is that by the time i get a diagnosis and treatment my life will have passed me by!
Thanks for the replies guys :)
