1st of all pdocs office called this morn & asked me to come in.i explained all symptoms to pdoc & he wants to start me on an amphetamine but needs cardio clearance.so NOW i have to find a cardiologist that'll take my insurance AND see me in the next 2 days.
more than i can handle in my depressed state,you know?
btw..i took the ADD test & it was positive so the doc & i decided we are all ADD.
really the test is rediculous..it basically states all emotional people are ADD.

Suzi,

Not that you don't already know this...but be really really careful taking an amphetamine or any other stimulant, even if your pdoc rx's it...it will shoot you so high in to mania so quickly and you won't even realize it...I'm so so so concerned for you. I mean, I know you were so depressed, and sucicidal, but be careful, okay? I've just BTDT and went through the roof.

Seems like they would try another antidepressant, or another stabilizer first.

Love and Hugs,

Keli

if it helps, and he is going to WATCH you closely for mania...then, by all means, YES YOU ARE going to do it...lol. Maybe it will help! If you and pdoc both feel it will help, GO FOR IT. You sure do need a pick up to get you out of this hole you're in.

Get on the phone and make the appt NOW.

if u HAVE TO, then that's what you do! Take them out of school a bit early, and take them with you!!! Be proactive about getting better, and when you are better, you can take better care of THEM!!!

Do it! If H won't do a work at home, screw him...you're still going to do whatever you have to do to get better. Okay?

Hugs,

I agree with all your posts but had to put my 2 cents in.


Not everyone reacts the same with add/hd meds.
