There are no doctors in my town that diagnose and treat ADD, what do I do? I have all of the symptoms?

I took 20mg of adderall 2 days in a row, and didnt feel my usual depression, feeling of being overwhelmed, anxiety, and I finished more in 2 days than i normally do in a month. I need to get my life back. I just finished breastfeeding my second baby, and i weigh 215 pounds. My husband doesn't understand and says its "all in my head". I really dont know what I should do, but I know that I need help. I miss the old Sara.. Im wondering how so many people on the streets have adderall, and I cant find a doc who diagnoses and treats ADD. It makes no sense. Why can't I get it legitimately, yet there are college kids taking it to party harder than usual?

i failed to mention that i was diagnosed by a neurologist when i was 18 but she is a pediatric neurologist and i am 26. She didnt treat me because i was joining the army, but told me that if i ever wanted to go back to school she would help me. I went back to school but had no medical insurance to see her, so i just forgot about it. Now, I feel like my symptoms are completely out of control. Its not depression. I do have situational depression, but only because i am dissatisfied with my life. It is my fault that I let things get so out of control. As far as taking other people's med. Try living without insurance and being so broke that you cant even afford to go see a psychiatrist. I have a free appt, but its not until Aug 7th. I need help now. My husband is not working like he is capable. I am dealing with that stress on top of everything else. I need to get straight so that I can be in public again and get a job myself. This is only a starting point for me. I am better than this.

While a psychiatrist would be preferable, ADD is common enough that any doctor who completed med school should be able to diagnose it and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

As for taking the adderall, don't feel guilty. You took a medically appropriate dose of a medication that treats a condition you have, and you only did it for two days. Many people with untreated mental conditions take much worse doses of much worse drugs. That being said, I highly recommend that you not do it again. Medication that powerful really does require medical supervision, and that in turn requires a doctor to prescribe it.
