Find A Doctor Who Prescribes Either Ritalin Or Adderall For My Adhd In Southwest Florida. (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I've had adhd since childhood and it has gotten increasingly worse. I've tried EVERYTHING and found that only these two medications really work. My doctor dropped me due to something regarding Obamacare and I NEED to have my prescriptions refilled! These drugs have literally brought my life back to normal! Please tell me of a doctor who understands the severity of the condition and will prescribe the right medications somewhere in Southwest Florida.

Yep, Obamacare screwed us all. My family has suffered greatly because of him. Lets pray that Dr. Ben Carson gets a say in healthcare going forward.

My doctor, one day a cpl months ago, just started the electronic script..the federal gov under Obamacare recently changed things. Normally, making you pick up a paper script, doctors are now encouraged to send electronic script to your fav pharmacy. It's safer for the doc, pharmacy, and easier on the patient. Less judging as well. MI is ahead in this dept and FL seems to like getting the electronic versions-I think they feel your a safer bet and I have not had a prob filling it twice here so far. Primary care docs in MI only need you to have an evaluation by your psych, once. I had come from Colo where my pscych transferred my records. Anyways the MI doc takes care of the script every month. No need for a re-evaluate, for years, if at all. Cali & Colo, probobly FL too, are different in that you must see a psychi who writes your script every month, or three. MI speeds up the process & realizes that ADD is a lifetime battle, no absolute final cure, so they help by simply giving the medication, and many currently like mine via electronic script, you need to get on with life..written by your primary doc after your evaluated by a psychiatrist. Out of all these states I have found MI most helpful-and coming from the west it really surprised me. Good luck all and keep searching for the understanding doctor who will help.

Re: Holly (# 43)

If you paid via credit card then contest the charge with your cc company. Seek a neurologist NOT a psychiatrist, psychiatrists are wack job witch doctors with no real skill. Neurologists are proper scientists and doctors. this is a common mistake of ppl with neurological disorders, they believe they MUST see one of these over charging loons in order to get help.

Also ask a general practitioner they re usually willing to help until you find a good neurologist.

It’s becayse the manufactures of Adderall for medicaid are awful with adverse side affects making you more fatigue.

He knows this but can’t tell you and he’s actually looking out for you.. drunk caffiene you don’t want Aurobindo and sandoz and all these toxic awful manufactures of generics . Let him know you know why .. that’s why and let me guess got have managed Medicaid ?

Not everyone can afford the cost of psychological testing which sometimes ranges between $1000 to $2000 just to get a prescription but it has been the worries for many. However, most of the patients keep complaining on where and how they can get this drug even though some can find it easier than others...Could this be understood by many out there?

Obamacare has to do with getting medical coverage, not whether or not your doctor treats you.

And as to getting the medications that work for you, you'll need to see a new doctor and make sure that they get a full copy of your medical records.

Once they can see what has and hasn't worked for you, as documented by fellow physicians, there is a better chance of them prescribing accordingly.

What type of doctor were you seeing? Have you tried seeing a specialist? They are usually the best trained to deal with and treat such conditions.
