Had my appointment today with my pdoc and totally frustrated with this ADD and different stimulants popping out whenever they want to or not working at all. Adderall(does nothing at all)Dexedrine(helps weight loss)Provigil and Strattera(what is it for again? Yeah, I forgot, they should have never made it...Focalin(definitely cotton mouth effect) So today was the last straw for me when my pdoc said,"let's try two more options,a combination of adding RitalinIR to your AdderallXr and if that doesn't work,RitalinIR and Concerta." Then he says,"If all else fails, let's try adding another mood stabilizer to your regimen and take out the stimulants." My response was, let's try you paying me the 175/hour I pay you and I'll try a combination of different stimulants on you and if they don't work....well maybe we'll have to meet more often during the week...say maybe five times a week...if that doesn't stimulate you then we'll increase the fee...c'mon give me a break!!
