Hey all,
I'm not sure where to put this post because I'm new here (been a lurker for years), and I'm also super tired so I'll try to keep it short.
Just got some decent health insurance for the first time in my adult life and you bet I'm going to go to the dentist and the lady doctor and all of the doctors. I'm also looking to find a psychiatrist to get prescribed Adderall. I used it years back consistently. It'd take on 15MG dose in the morning once a day right before breakfast, bought it through a friend. It was the only time in my life I really had clarity. I've been struggling entirely with formulating sentences. Sometimes simple words have to be picked up for me by other people because my mind wanders during the middle of a sentence. I feel so damn SLOW, but I know I'm a decently intelligent person. When I illegally took Adderall, I felt like myself but a little more organized and directional. I've done everything from yoga and meditation, running, and creating a healthy lifestyle for myself full of notes and lists to follow and my forgetfulness is still an issue because my "in the moment" presence is convoluted by unnecessary trails of thought that go nowhere. See, I tried to keep this short and sweet... so back to that.
My questions are these:
Is it kosher to go into a psychiatrist's office and basically SAY you want to be prescribed a drug?
Should I tell this person I had taken it consistently for a year without a prescription and what affects it had on me?
Lastly: I live in Austin, Texas. Are any of you out there from around here and have any suggestions for me regarding psychiatrits that take Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield?
