It shouldnt be that big of a problem to get an RX from a doctor since you were diagnosed with adhd a long time ago.
Just go to your family doctor and tell him of the situation, and he should be able to help you out. There are many other medicines available today to treat ADHD
Adderal
Dexedrine
Strattera
and you could always try Ritalin again if it worked well for you in the past.
Good luck!
any Dr can prescribe Ritalin.
however, there are more drugs available today.
some like Dexedrine.
some like stratera, which has little street value, and should cause less concern for a Dr.
if you were to google Dexedrine stratera Ritalin ADD
then you'd likely find several sites that talk about all of them, and give you more info on them.
If your drinking less than half of your body weight in Oz's of purified water daily...Start doing it now...Your brain may just be chronically dehydrated and proper hydration may greatly lessen your ADD symptoms...You should feel results within a few days of daily hydration...A pinch of sea salt with 8Oz's of water at night helps the brain hydrate more efficiently.
Try getting to the route of your problem. Most ADD and ADHD has deep connections to unknown food or environmental sensitivities. Start and elimination diet by not eating dairy products for a week and see if you feel better than try wheat, eggs. Eliminate all sugar and artificial flavours from your diet, these too have a VERY strong connection to ADD problems.
As far as supplements start taking a good Omega-3 supplement daily. It has tons of studies on its ability to increase memory and focus. Some people can have ADD totally reversed just from this! Besides that consider taking some Magnesium to calm the brain down.
Other supplements to consider looking into are L-Theanine, GABA, B-Complex Vitamins, B6 P5P form.
On top of all of this you should download a Brain wave generator or Binaural Beats program to help relax your brain and get your brain frequency balanced out.
Honestly one cannot get eve a good suggestion(not advice) unless whole picture is in front.
Do have itching in Nose/anus?
Do u try move yr nose now & then due itching sense.
Are you more intelligent than average and still cannot keep mind at one point
Do u get rage on triffles
7 out of ten ADHD are ascardice(worm) patients.
I have helped many after twothree sittings. & grateful to HEALER who give insight to help in such cases.
Very hurting to patients and whole family.
Most of the ailments are caused by stomach disorders,believe me. Take light food(no beef,pork vinegar) and clear bowls with purgative once a month atleast.
With my 40 yrs in this field i have come to this conclusions.
caffeine is a quick fix if you truly have adhd or add. Sugar wont hurt nor help add or adhd. If you were to have a PET scan done the docs would actually see damage within the brain. ADHD and ADD are NOT mental or behavioral disorders although it can and most often does lead to mental or behavioral problems, sometimes severe. As far as getting in to see the psychiatrist, depending on where you are and if the DOC is going to consider you an adult or pediatric..this does not have to do with age...it could take several months.
You could try a community mental health facility as they usually take payments and operate on a sliding scale charge wise. You may also be eligible for special health care needs and the state will give you a medical card and you will get the scripts you might need for little or nothing. Good luck and I am glad that you have recognized your problem, this means you can control it to some extent. I promise you though it is a very REAL brain disorder and any good doctor should know this.
