I didn't want to interrupt the beauty thread anymore than I already have..
Well I had my appointment, and I said to my new PDoc "I get the feeling that you think I've abused stimulants and that's why you won't prescribe them for me"
She said "Well you have" And I said "No I've never ever abused my medication where did you get that idea from?"..(this woman has seen me twice)
No answer.
I brought my file- thank goodness- from my previous PDoc. R. It showed 7 years of stimulant use with beneficial results..
Grasping at straws she tried to pick out a part from that file where it said I had
some Character(aspects to my depressionI asked what that had to do with my medication especially since an personality disorders had been taken out of my diagnosis after my 3rd interview with him.
Anyway.. the upshot was, she had simply decided I was an abuser. Perhaps she thought she'd heard it somewhere? Perhaps we're all abusers unless proven otherwise? Finally I laughed and said "Look at this baby skin, if I was drug abuser don't you think I'd have a few lines???
I got my medication. Not Provigil, but Dexedrine,
Dexedrine is just fine with me, I'd only asked for the Provigil originally because I thought I'd have a better chance of getting it, seeing she seemed so anti-stim from the get go, but Dexedrine has worked just as well for me in the past.Thanks for caring you guys.
