Don't you just hate it when you have to find a new dealer?

[hellziggy]

I had an appointment today with my Ritalin dealer psychiatrist and I found out that he is retiring. *sigh* I actually have a doctor I like, he's all of 10 minutes from my house, he actually deals with a fair amount of ADD people, and now I have to find someone new. Can't even just switch to someone else there because he's the only one at that office with prescribing power.
So now I have to find a new Medica approved shrink, wait forever to see them, because first appointments are always months out, and hope that I like them. In the mean time he said to call the office in about 3 weeks when he will still be there, but it's within the time frame that a new prescription can be written and they will mail me a prescription to get me through the next month.
I have to make an appointment for a physical at the Gen Practitioner anyway because the ADD clinic recommended that I have my thyroid levels checked, so I can see if that doc will cover me for meds until I get a new shrink. Bleah. What a pain in the ass!

Hey Sharon,

What tipped you off that you have ADD in your life?

I am wondering if ADD might be why I have more and more difficulty concentrating on things. I seem to be able to focus on tasks for a short time, then wander off to something else, as if I have no control.

I can sit and watch a movie in the theater, but when I try to watch a movie at home, I get distracted quite easily.

Anyway, I am starting to think that ADD might be behind it. And the irony is that I've been meaning to ask you about this for weeks, but have only just actually made the move to write this post.
