About taking Adderall XR?!


Question: About taking Adderall XR!?
I took Adderall XR and Zoloft about 2-2!.5 years ago!. It got to the point they took me off Zoloft and just took up my dose on the other!. After moving to Orlando, and having no insurance, I decided to stop picking up my scripts all together!. It's been 2!.5 years since then, and I've noticed my constant multitask of unfinished projects - I haven't sat down to write any fiction in a year (and I love writing)!. My mind can't hold and focus on one idea!. This hasn't been just recently!.!.!.but it is just recently that I actually zoomed in on it and noticed it on myself!.
I don't have a doctor, but I plan on making an appointment to see one by next week!.
Question is: How do I go about asking to get put back on the medication!? Like I said, it's been about (or over) two years since I last took my script!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Talk to your doctor about your prior history, how Adderall XR helped you in the past and about your current symptoms!. Explain to him/her that you haven't taken this med in 2 1/2 years, you noticed symptoms returning and that's what prompted you to see a doctor again!. Most docs will listen to everything you say like this and will reissue a prescription!. It would also help if you let him know who your prior doctor was, where he/she is located and if you could bring in copies of your prior medical records!. Medicine is a complicated art/science (trust me, I know) and the more information your doctor has the better that he/she can treat your condition!.

Hope this helps!

You can start with a family practitioner (this is definitely not an internal medicine question)!. The family practitioner is usually a good start but you can also see a psychiatrist!. You don't say which state that you live in, but in a few states it will be a family practice doctor only because psychiatrists lack the authority to prescribe medicine!. Again, though, in most states you'll be fine seeing either doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Setup an appointment with a doctor in your area and be sure to take the name and phone number of the original doctor who prescribed them to you so that the new doctor can call and get your records!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
