Stimulants Discussing recreational drug use with a psychiatrist. Also concerned about ADD/ADHD

^ Really?
I filled mines but I don't think they have a way of checking.

Actually, they do....

Situation 1: I stopped seeing my old Dr a while ago, and lost my insurance. I went to the ER to get a script of my old drugs, Klonopin included, and the Dr at the ER called a pharmacy to check and make sure I had those scripts. I did, and he said he confirmed it, but I hadn't filled my paxil in months. I had to tell him I went to a different pharmacy that was cheaper.

Situation 2: Dr's can check up on it, and insurance can do. My Dr calls in another script every month, eventually the pharm would have like 20 on hold. One month I didn't pick it up because it was early, then never got it filled, until he sent the next months (so I was one behind). I got a letter from my insurance about how my Dr sent a script, tried to fill it, got denied, and it's still sitting there. I had to write them back verifying that it wasn't a mistake or something. If there was 20 of them, it would def be suspicious.

I just pay a few bucks, pick them up every month, and toss them in a box
 
I had no idea, I am going to have to pick up my old Klonopin script then.

Yes, my mom was at my first visit with the GP. I expected him to say Concerta, then I almost bursting into a smile when he said Adderall XR. That filled my heart with happiness, and I took one right after we got the script filled, I didn't give a fuck about anyone else there, I just wanted to get high. And I flew through my dirty ass house and cleaned the shit out of it.
 
She prescribed me Wellbutrin. She was hesitant to prescribe me a stimulant, because I take cortisol for my Central Adrenal Insufficiency. She said that she was going to find out how stimulants would interact. She didn't seem too concerned about the fact that I smoked weed. (They gave me this packet to fill out to give them an idea of why I was seeing them. On the packet it had a list of drugs to list that I've used. I put: Alcohol-Not very often, Nicotine-I've used it in the past [I've only smoked cigarettes like 5 times in my life], Marijuana-Weekly. I marked "No" for Psilocybin Mushrooms and MDMA.) She told my mom, "It really isn't anything life threatening. But it can certainly effect the way some medicines work since they may work on the same receptors." She didn't tell me to stop, nor did she condone it.

She told me if Wellbutrin doesn't work or is making me feel worse to stop taking it and call her, or just call her. She said there is no withdrawal at lower doses of it. If it doesn't work she may try a stimulant.

I think after some time of getting to know this doctor I may be able to tell her about my MDMA and Psilocybin use. She said if she ever felt like my mom needed to know something, that she would talk to me about it first, and make an appointment where we could discuss it if I want to. So I don't know for sure if I would like to inform her of it.
 
Oh how odd! I have never heard of them prescribing that first. Usually Ritalin or Concerta, sometimes Adderall.
Sounds like you have a month to decide if its good enough for you ;)
 
I would recommend not taking wellbutrin if you don't actually need it. I personally think it's in a nasty overprescibed class of drugs.
 
Yeah I don't think I'm gonna take it, and I'm going to just say it isn't helping in like a week or two. Plus I don't want a drug that stays in my system for a while. Does Wellbutrin have a long half life?

And actually I thought they were gonna prescribe Adderall, because on the clip board the gave me, it said "ADDERALL XR" in big letters with a list of dosages underneath. I assume they may prescribe it if nothing works.
 
Good thing you came in with a closed mind! Good show, its awful to just go in and try stuff you don't want. I preferred XR, but since everyone on the internet said Dexedrine was better I stuck with it and now I have 60mg of stuff I don't like daily. :(
 
Okay, well Wellbutrin did not work for me at all, so I'm off of it now. But last night my doctor decided to prescribe me Adderall IR and so far, just after one day, it has tremendously helped. Last night I took 10mg just to try it (I wasn't supposed to try it until this morning), and it really helped me stay focused. I was able to work on Precalculus for 2+ hours straight, plus I made 200 spanish flash cards all before 10:00pm (I'm usually up until 1-3:00am doing homework, or better yet, procrastinating), and I felt like I was not distracted at all, and I was able to understand the work much better. Today, I took 15mg after breakfast and another 15mg after lunch. I noticed in all my classes I was able to stay on task much better than normal. For example: In my independent study class, i normally just talk with my friends and get no work done. Today I got a lot of work done, and if I stopped to add something to my friends' conversations, I could immediately get back on task rather than just babble on the rest of the class period. I was also less impulsive today; normally I constantly interrupt my friends during conversation, but today I noticed my impulses where not really noticable. The Adderall also gave me a great mood lift; I can get very irritable and angry, usually due frustration, but today I was in the best mood and nothing really bothered me. I have a minor OCD problem too, and I noticed that I had many less compulsions and nothing had to be as even nor perfect as they normally have to be. It has only been one day, but so far I really like how it is affecting me. I am actually looking forward to school now rather than completely dreading it.
 
Also, I have a question. I basically need the Adderall to be active from about 8:00 AM to about 10-11:00pm during the week, and most likely I will only need a smaller dose on weekends. Right now my doctor just prescribed me to take it after breakfast and after lunch, and has told me to play around with the dose (from 5mg to 15mg) until I am satisfied with the effects; right now, she's really just seeing how I tolerate the drug and if before going any further. But anyways, by the time I get ready to do homework, it seems like the Adderall may be worn off by then (I start homework usually 6-7 hours after I am supposed to take my second dose, so it may be harder for me to be focused and disciplined by the time I sit down to get started). Would it be okay to take a smaller dose an hour or so before doing my homework? Or should I just talk to my doctor about it? An added not: I got a bottle with 60 blue 10mg IRs Generic. If she decides to put me on a higher dose, will she most likely give me a new script? The bottle is supposed to supply only 20mg a day 30 days, no refills. If I were to be taking 15mg twice daily or maybe 10mg three times daily, it would only last me 20 days, if I've done my math right. Cause I'm pretty sure a doctor can't prescribe you a 30 day supply of a Schedule II drug more than once a month, right?

I don't think this is true, as long as the dosage is different. So if the doctor writes you a new script in 20 days for 3x 10mg a day, it should go through. It was fine with me a while ago for some percocet. Not 100% sure though i suppose.
 
That makes sense, but it shouldn't even have to boil down to that. Pain management is different for everyone. It's not so cut and paste, law aside. I imagine pain management really sucks for a lot of people in this country that do things legally.

Actually, you're right. I forgot that when I got my wisdom teeth out, they gave me Percocet and I ran out and they wrote me like 2 refills of Lortab.
 
Percocet is C-II

Lortab is C-III, so you can get refills on it.

C-II drugs have to have a new prescription written every time it needs to be filled. This usually means picking up a new script every month from your doc, or having your doc write multiple scripts which you drop off at the pharmacy and then pick up every 28 or 30 days. C-III and C-IV have different requirements on how many refills you can get, but my C-IV script has lots of refills and I've never had problems...but I only get it refilled every 30-35 days (its a 30 day supply).

If your 30 day supply isn't enough, just ask your doctor to script you more pills per month. It's legal.

And as far as Wellbutrin goes, that's an interesting first script, I would have guessed Concerta or Adderall XR (simply because it sounds like your doc has a bunch of Adderall XR marketing free shit the pharm reps give out)

You need to be careful man. You may not realize it now and won't until its too late so what i tell is worthless but i will anyway. You sound just like me in the way you are approaching these issues.

I exhibited all the same things you are in high school (high intelligence, low focus, weed mdma shrooms) and my parents had me tested for ADD but i knew i didn't want to be on them, strangely, because later i was fine with taking opiates all day every day.

All i'm saying is people like us (if i may, really you sound just like me) are very good at self-rationalization and you may think this can protect you from habituation and addiction.

I barely graduated high school and i'm now at a notable private university studying mechanical engineering without the use of cognitive enhancers. I'm not tooting my own horn, things change, priorities and brain chemistry change throughout the process of becoming an adult.

Just be aware, you may never be able to study without them, read some experience reports on erowid.

in New York State, A Psychiatrist is allowed to write "code B" on a script for a CII drug , DEXEDRINE which im on, which i get a 3 month supply fill on a script, im on 2 Dexedrine daily, i get #180 all at once to last 90 days, but he has to write "code b" on the script for the pharmacist to do that, so i love it, a big huge supply of 180 at once...instread of going to a primary where i HAVE to pick up my scripts every 30 days....psychaitrsists are the way to go in NEw York State u get 90 day supply all at once, research on it for those who live in New York

Are you referring to opiates or Adderall? I wasn't sure, because you quoted the post about Percocet and Lortab. I don't habitually use opiates, if that's what you think; opiates make me too lazy.
 
my xanax script literally got ripped from under my feet like a rug when my mom told my shrink i smoked weed every day... fuck that
