> hey! 60mgs/adderall--what I think you're aiming for--is a bit high. Some docs don't like going that high *at all*, so be aware of that. I don't think you should focus on changing your docs mind so much as you should focus on getting adequate treatment--if you feel that your problems (specifically, the ones that adderall is rx'd to help) aren't being treated adequately, say so. Your doc could...up the adderall, add something (ritalin, provigil, etc.), switch you to something else (provigil, dexedrine, desoxyn), etc. If you still can't get your problems under control with your current doc, you might need to find another psychiatrist, or work with a psychologist to get your thought processes more in line. Good luck!
> hey Med.thanks for the reply. I am very treament resistant. I have been on virtually everything. I know docs and pdocs are relcutsnt, but am I supposed to live a life of misery. I want to be un-depressed, motivated ,and not pack on another 20 to 40 lbs..I understand what you are saying but I gotta tell you, I am not looking for Adderall t9 solve all my problems . just to address some of my symptomology better than it is . I have been on ove 60 meds and had 33 ECT treatments in the past and yes I am looking at a psychologist to help me with the anxiety. it just seems like a dead end every way I turn!
