Hey all,
Im looking to go to a pyschiatrist and need a few questions answered.
1. Should i mention my OCD if i want to get prescribed either adderall or ritalin for my lack of motiviation and other adhd traits i have? Some say it makes the OCD worse and the doc might not give the drugs.
2. Should i mention my panic attacks and anxiety? Ive tried xanax and klonopin and they work great for me. I dont want him/her thinking im chasing "recreational drugs" i can just smoke weed for that
3. Should i say i have depression *which i dont* will it help get what i want? I dont want crap SSRI's (no offense to those who take it) after reading for weeks ive come to either get adderall/adderall xr or ritalin. I think that a adderall with xanax combo can work great for me. What you guys think?
4. Adderall vs Ritalin vs Adderal xr --- which would you choose for a normal functioning day of work and going out at night with friends. Least side effects.
Any advice as to say/not say to the pyschiatrist in order to get what i want? any experiences?
Im just trying to get my life back on track, i have no job (been 3 years) no motivation at all, cant concentrate and finish stuff *such as school*
Thank you all for commenting.
