> ... He fudged around alot, and when I outright asked him if he ever prescribed a stimulant to anyone--He said, NO. so I flipped out, not because I was unstable, but because he deserved it.
Well, at THAT point in the story, I was thinking "No, not really." If he has some sort of professional qualms abotu prescribing stims, he's got his right not to, and you've got your right to walk.
Then I read the rest of your message.
If he has been stringing you along, with some hidden agenda about getting you to decide you really don't need dexedrine or something along those lines, then he's been a baaaaaad, baaaaad boy. I mean, he's getting paid to make diagnoses and decisions based upon those. If he couldn't tell you flat out from the start that stims are a path he wouldn't go down, you deserved to know then and there.
I think we've all lost enough time to our disorders ... getting strung along like that sure would p*ss me off.
I'll loan you my steel-toed boots if you need'em,
