I was diagnosed with ADHD a few weeks ago, ive been put onto the waiting list for titration to start meds but it looks like its still gonna be a few months. I could really do with getting my meds asap as ive got exams and coursework coming up, anyone have recommendations for stuff to help with keeping me focused? I’m currently just downing monsters like they’re water whenever I need to do work
A waitlist for meds is so weird to me. I was given a prescription my first visit with a psych and then when I moved I told my doctor I had ADHD and he just wrote me a script without even doing anything more than an ADHD questionnaire.
Yeah, my psych diagnosed, and faxed it to my primary physician. He was like “ah yeah I see you got diagnosed. Here, let me write you a script for some meds… Uncle Sam will only let me write 30 days at a time, but I can post-date up to three. So I’ll write three 30-day supplies, and you can use them when they become valid.
I dont believe theres actually a waitlist for the meds themselves, I have to do titration first which I think is the hold up
Titration is just a gradual increase in dosage. So there really shouldn’t be a delay unless your pharmacy can’t source low dosages.
It’s Adderall, a lot of pharmacies can’t get any doses if op is in America. The DEA has restrictions on schedule 2 drugs like most adhd meds that have caused constant shortages for years
