Ive been perscribed dexies for just over 2 years now for ADD, and I'd like to move to Melbourne sometime this year.
However moving to Melbourne will mean switching psychiatrists, and as to where the line is drawn between whether ADD is an actual disorder or not, I dont know..
I was diagnosed with ADD, not ADHD, which means that I just daydream a shitload and cant hold concentration, but other then that, everything is just as it is. But I do know that dexies have helped me sooo much over the past two years, I was getting the lowest grades in my class beforehand. Im still not the smartest, but I'm atleast average now, and I have better aspirations/motivation.
What I'd like to know is when I move, and go to another psych, is it likely/possible that he/she may say something different? Maybe not believe in medication so much? And thus no longer perscribe me?
Dont get me wrong, I use them for all the right reasons, and don't plan to use them for the rest of my life, but when I move to Melbourne I have the intention to study at uni there, and Im not quite sure how I'd cope without them (considering how low my grades were beforehand)
Thanks!
