Ive been on adderral for about 12 years. Ive been diagnosed with ADD & slight form of narcolopsy. Im very embarrassed by it. I see how wonderful my husband does just on his own. Im allergic to coffee so I cant even drink that to boost my energy level. Adderral helps me & I HATE hearing about people abusing it bc it effects people who need it!
I moved to a small town in Wisco, but used to live in Phx. My mom still lives there so even when I moved, I'd visit about 3 times a year & also see my doctor out there. (she'd give me a 90 day refill & I didnt take my adderral every day so that usually work) Well, my doctor ended up retiring & I saw it was no point in trying to keep flying out to phx for a new doctor. I might as well see someone in my small town.
I was calling everyone. Even my husbands family doctor wouldnt prescribe it to me. They made me feel bad about asking when I'd call places. Probably bc its such a small town that so many people are bored & are druggies! I dont know what to do. I felt so humiliated by people calling & asking about this. Theres only one Psychiatrist in town & they only take patients who have SEVERE mental issues & really cant function.
1...do you think that I do qualify as "severe" or bc I can talk and be friendly means Im fine?
2. What should I do? What are my options? I just feel so hurt & humiliated. I dont even know what I want out of this forum, but I definitely need to vent & see if anyone has dealt with something similar.
