Over the last few years I've questioned whether I have ADD but have never really looked into it. Being 19 now, I can see a psychiatrist myself and try a solution to combat it.
Has anyone in QLD obtained a Ritalin/Concerta/etc prescription as an adult?
How many sessions did you have to attend before the Dr. handed over the script? I've heard that adults have to undertake a long series of tests, e.g. brain scans, which are considerably expensive (~$1000), is this true? How much are the prescriptions each month?
I just want some basic questions answered before I bother spending $300 (or what ever it is) to see the psychiatrist.
