I am on short-term disability for work, which makes finances almost impossible due to living expenses. However, I do have a pdoc (although he is on vacation all this next week), and I have very good insurance/prescription insurance (as long as I'm still with this job), so I'm not limited in that way.Angela,
That's very good news that you have insurance to help out. That opens up a lot more doors. Though there is a lot of potential with the natural alternatives we've already talked about, if you want to go the prescription route you might consider something talked about in another post to Amy. That is, Zyprexa + stimulant. In that post I kind of touched on the reasoning behind it, but in general it's because this combination has a wide therapeutic spectrum for many different symptoms, including all of yours.My doctor wouldn't be happy with me on any particular stimulant if it was working just OK. He would want me to compare it to other stimulant choices through trials to be sure I was on the best one for me, not just a decent one. That's something to consider too. Do you know for sure Ritalin is the best for you?
I know things are real tough right now. Hang in there. It really does get better. :-)
