Hi everyone
I know you know what I am going through.
None of the anti-depressants that I have used help, except to make me sleepy and fat which depresses me more. I have put on 50 extra pounds, I am a mess, depressed and can't get my life togetherI have been self-medicating myself and the only thing that helps me is stimulants. I feel normal and confident and energetic, not high when I take them.
My current pdoc (new-I just moved here)is making me feel worse and keeps suggesting old meds that I have already tried and that don't work. And it takes weeks to switch medications.
I need to find a new pdoc who will listen to me and prescribe a stimulant and not think that I am a drug addict.
I have a list of pdocs in my area. Do I just call them and ask the receptionist if he is open to prescribing stimulants?
I am so tired of being depressed and trying to make it through the day. I can hardly face work and the world.
How do I find a doctor who will help me?
Any suggestions?
