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,
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.
Yes, an internet forum is not the place for a diagnosis or specific med info, but we have received conflicting advice so I wanted to hear from others who had traveled the med/ADHD/depression road before us. And, we would not use our general ped. for ADHD help!
We are so lucky to have connections to and live in an area with many medical facilities so we should be able to find a good psychiatrist.
