In reply to Had pdoc appt and got go ahead on stims/Liliths, posted by stargazer on January 12, 2007, at 23:11:21
hi stargazer
congatulations!! Thank you SO much for the update :)
I can certainly idenitfy with what you said about having compensated as well as the fact that depression tends to block the obviousness of the ADD. Sounds like you have a good pdoc - someone who actually 'listens' to you - I'm thrilled for you!
what stim did he give you and what dosage? Also, what's your EMSAM dosage?
btw, do you have any dietary restrictions on the EMSAM?
I'm concerned as I'm a vegetarian as well as a female who uses soy for many things, including supplementation. I know at lower doses most haven't had many problems... the only person who said they did is /m, who is on 12mg, but who is also getting great results!
good luck and please stay in touch... I'm really excited for you :)
namaste,
lilith> Hi...had my appt and got the go ahead for continuing my "experiment" with stims. He agreed it was OK to do and said he didn't focus on the ADD symptoms because they are not very obvious and most of my symptoms were of depression. He did admit to missing the diagnosis though.
