My story is that i was diagnosed (legit) at 17 i was refered by a GP to a specialist, the specialist saw me once and diagnosed me then in two weeks on my next visit i was prescribed dexie as the first and only type of treatment. In NSW it does go through the health authority which takes a while, they have to redo it every year aswell, and i ended up on 6x5mg a day.
As i said in another thread I ended up getting arrested while in drug induced pyschosis aswell as having weed and a pill i had 20 dexies in a satty on me. I told my doctor a couple days later that i had gone into psychosis after what i said was taking my dexies normally then one pill then weed instead of the truth which was that i had also taken 10 dexies and had a .5g of speed but i did tell him about the 20 dexies in a satty and that i did sometimes combine dexie with other drugs. The amazing thing is he said he was still willing to prescribe me dexies though i might have to pick up less at a time or go to spansules, the only killer thing was he said was when he told the health authority they would make me take a witnessed urine test every two weeks for a year.
I declined and no longer see a pyschiatrist, to be honest my add interfers in my life pretty heavily but i try think about it as little as possible, when i see my psych all the time i reckon i dwell on it, label myself and always think about my limitations, no psych and i rarely 'remember' i have ADHD and just get on and do stuff the best i can.
As for faking it i really dont thinks it worth it, by the time you've added up the expense of the medication, the expense of the 'gap' (amount medicare wont pay for your visits), expense of lugging ur arse to see your doctor you would have been better off just buying ice by the gram......
