I have quite a little history regarding prescriptions. I first started seeing a psych (she was kind of crazy herself). She started me at 20 mg Adderall a day, and .5 Klonopin 2 times a day for anxiety. Within 2 more visits, I was up to #90 30 mg Adderalls (1 and a half in the morning and 1 and a half in the afternoon). As well as #90 2 mg Clonazepam a day..(breakfast, lunch and dinner for anxiety.) Then all the SSRI's you could imagine, which none worked.
I then got in a car accident and completely obliterated my leg and ankle. They put a plate and screws in it, and I was prescribed #40 OC 20's and #60 5 mg Vicodin. Every week for like 3 months my mom called in for a refil on the Vicodin, and they gave it to me. I then went back months later and received #90 Percocet 10's. (This was like half a year after my surgery). I had been an opiate addict years before I saw this doctor, so I eventually decided to go to the Methadone clinic. I started at 30 mg a day, and climbed up to 120 mg a day (bad idea). But the clinic fucked me over, (I know just for my own safety, but I'm not an idiot) and decided that since I was pissing positive for benzos, they needed to call my doctor and let her know I was also taking Methadone. She immediately cut me off all medications and refused to see my until I was off of Methadone. This was over a year ago, I have been off of Methadone for like 4 months now, but had no interest in going back to her being as how she just cut me off a large benzo habit which put me through potentially deadly withdrawals, thank god I didn't have a seizure, just EXTREME uncomfortableness and no sleep for a week.
I now am with a new psych, and she is amazing. She doesn't judge me, she doesn't look down on me, or try and over talk me. (This is a blessing as though I spent months without my NEEDED anxiety medicine and trying many different doctors.) My new doctor took me in as if she has been seeing me for years. My first appointment she simply asked why I was there, I said my main concern is my constant physical and mental anxiety. So she said okay, what have you tried? I said I have tried it all but Clonazepam controls it the best, and boom she wrote me #60 2 mg Klonopins on my first visit. I ignored my adhd at the time being as though I wasn't in school. I recently got a desk job and realized how bad I needed the amphetamines to keep my attention and control my hyperactivity. So we tried 30 mg Vyvanse, 1 a day..it was okay..I needed more, so I switched back to Adderall. She only wrote me #30 10 mg pills tho, so I called back a few days later and stated that I couldn't even notice that I took anything, she said okay start taking 2 a day n call back. So I waited a few days, called back and said 2 still wasn't working..so she said take 3 in the morning. (How cool of a doc, right? addressing the issue now instead of making me pay to come in just to hear the same thing.) I think my body is just so used to adhd meds bc my first doctor gave me 60 a day for so many years, so hopefully Monday I get the adderall situation figured out.
