At least you can get meds. I have to get knockoff Adderall from the internet (a combo of Phenylethane and Octodrine). It doesn’t work nearly as well as the real stuff, so I mix it with Kratom. I wish I could afford real treatment.
My doctor won’t give it to me because of history of addiction. I told him I’d been thinking of finding another doctor and he said, “should be easy to find someone who doesn’t give a damn about the rest of your health so he can pocket your money. No matter what you say though, my answer is no because I care what happens to you.”
That makes it difficult to even think about it because the man really does care about me and it’s obvious. I wonder if we just have a different view about things, but he’s the professional.
Maybe he’s right though. I’ve been on suboxone for over a decade.
I just wish I could use my brain.
He agrees that I have adhd, but he is afraid I’ll abuse the medication.
I wish I hadn’t put myself in this position, but adhd might have helped me get here in the first place.
I’m good though. I really am. I just wish I could be better.
I would like to honestly, but I really do know my doctor cares.
About three years ago I lost my insurance and he continued to see me for free until I got it straightened out. He also filled out my paperwork with everything necessary to get my medication funded by the state for free until I got it worked out.
It would be really difficult for me to go against him. He’s 84 years old though, and if he goes before me I’ll get a second opinion then.
I take my meds but it only helps so much. I notice i still have more trouble than others with certain things.

Have you sought out a second opinion? Doctors can be wrong with the best of intentions.
“should be easy to find someone who doesn’t give a damn about the rest of your health” shows that he has a strong bias.
It should be easy to find an equally caring and competent doctor that may know more about addiction and ADHD.
