Trying To Find A Doctor For Adderall In Port Charlotte Fl

I have a traumatic brain injury and secondary ADHD because of it. I'm looking for a doctor in the port Charlotte area who will perscribe me 2 /30mg XR Adderall with 2 /20mg IR Adderall. My current pyschriatirist is making it hard for me to and because of my cognitive deficits high dose stimulants seem to be the only thing that helps me fight back against all the fatigue and lack of productivity I experience due to my brain injury. I don't like having to argue or lie about how much taking the Adderall at this level has benefited my quality of life. I do know one former doctor in Port Charlotte that may be able to help me but it anyone has any idea where I might find the right doctor to understand my circumstances and work with me on this stimulant regiment I'd appreciate your help.

I am very sorry about your brain injury and everything you are dealing with, that's terrible.

However, the main problem you are going to run into is that if you go see a new doctor and ask for a specific medication, in a specific dosage, especially when it's a controlled substance like this one, most of them will view that as drug seeking behavior and will not help you.

I know that's not what you're intending, I am just telling you how the modern medical establishment usually views such things.

The best thing to do, when seeing a new doctor is to make sure they get a full copy of your medical records, and let them speak for you about what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. They will often feel more comfortable, when they see it laid out by another medical professional.

Why is your current doctor making it so hard for you?

The FDA warns that this Adderall, which contains mixed Amphetamine salts, carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, nervousness, insomnia, weight loss, and anorexia.

I've been on Adderall for awhile now and believe me any side effects do not derail the good that it's done for me. It's unfortunate that I can't just be honest about what I'm actually looking for. My ability to make small talk is not so good after the brain injury. I do better just saying what's on my mind. I believe i'l find a doctor that will understand my situation.
