So, after over a month without meds, my medication holiday will come to an end tomorrow. I went to see a new doctor today. He actually talked to me, not at me. He didn't dismiss my concerns. I will start on Effextor(sp?) 37 mg OD tomorrow. We shall see how it goes. His plan is to increase the dosage after one week to 2 tabs in the AM. He also had me repeat some number /letter sequences to him forwards and backwards. The backwards part was literally painful. It made my brain hurt. He actually concurred that my ADHD has a significance impact on my livelihood. So, I feel optimistic about this new doctor. A neurologist, who would have thought?
On a side note, my wonderful boyfriend was there to help me remember all my things I wanted to say-- and a few I was too embarrassed to bring up.<3
