It's really hard to get into a psychiatrist, which is another problem. The key is to find a really good doc rather than asking for input on an internet forum, but just finding a good doc is really hard. The psychiatrist we saw was very anti-med and took DD off abrubtly, which was pretty much a disaster. Then wouldn't listen to me when I tried to say she isn't functioning well with X, Y, or Z unmedicated. Most of them (around here at any rate) seem to have huge waiting lists or only see certain types of patients. I was told ADHD is usually handled by general practice (who, in my experience, are definitely NOT experts on these medications). I'm not clear if greenlotus is seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist or both.
