My ADD is managed extremely well by relatively tiny doses of Desoxyn (5 mg BID, if that).
I had a doc in San Francisco (name on request -- don 't know if it's kosher to post here) who knew me for years and didn't mind prescribing it, but discovered he was in the minority when I moved to Ohio, where the only doc in town not only didn't know it was used for ADD, but was too ashamed to check the PDR until I insisted she do so.
I didn't want to play into her little power trip, so satisfied myself with Ritalin 5 mg PRN on a very irregular basis, and I hate it.
Works fine for a couple hours, but at hour 3.5 I crash and then feel like sh*t for another 4, during which my heart pounds.
I was accomplishing so much on my little doses of Desoxyn and just want to take it again without the games and hassle and risk of a cardio-vascular event...
Anyone know of a rational psychiatrist in Seattle who's willing to prescribe it without a lengthy song and dance? Prefer one knowledgeable with Transactional Analysis.
