My son is 5. He was diagnosed with ADHD. His doctor has tried 2 different drugs on him, and he has had little side effects on the last drug.She is going by what the teacher is saying on the forms.She took him off the meds all together.His teacher says he cant do his work without help from medication.I was wondering if a mental health center can monitor him bettter on medication than his pediatrician.
My sons teacher is wonderful. We talk at least once a week about how my son is doing.When he was on Aderall she let me know how he was acting"zombie like" and she didnt like that at all, so thats when the dr. lowered the doseage.
i’ll see about the patch. Im not leaving his dr. all together,Just with the ADHD thing.

I go through a prescription assistance program for my medication for OCD and ADHD right now since the cost of medication is sky high and I am poor. My doctor prescribed my meds of course and I always get it through the program which sends it their to the pharmacy at the center I go to for my therapy and doctor visits. I have to re-enroll in the program every year, and I usually have enough meds to last me until they approve the application again, NOT THIS YEAR. They did not have one bottle left when I had to sign up for the program again. I am almost out of one of the medicines I take and the other may last me, I haven’t counted it yet. They said they would have to wait until the application comes through and they send me more bottle. In the meantime I have talked to the nurse there about it and she said she would talk to the doctor about it. That was the first nurse I talked to, another one called me monday after she got a hold of the notes from the first nurse going to the doctor. She was totally braindead and didn’t understand what I was telling her. She first made the assumption that I was now making enough money to not qualify for the program and I had to bluntly state that I am having to wait on more meds while my application goes through. Heck, I am making less this year than I was last year. I lost my job and had to settle for one that paid less until I could find another. Still no luck with the crappy job market. They said it could take weeks but one time it took a month to go through(but I had plenty of meds then). They said all they can do is talk to the doctor about getting on a cheaper medicine that is supposed to treat the same stuff, but with a different name until it all goes through. That will be tommorow before the nurse can talk to her since the doctor was not there today. I was told they were going to talk to her on Monday. I can buy a 30 day supply of the pills but they cost over 0.00. I know abruptly going off of medication can make someone sick and even make their behavior go bad(some have gone on shooting sprees), can these people legally do this to me?? I mean that is just stupid/
The people at the pharmacy told me that it was time for me to re-apply. They have do it at a various time each year. It is a we-tell-you type situation. I didn’t know.
They don’t have samples either.

I see the college psychologist and she gave me Psychological-Disability Verification form that states I have adhd and I am struggling in school, but she cannot help me with medication. I’m 25 years old, live at home, and a full time student- currently (and previously) struggling in my classes because of this! Can Medical help?

I currently suffer from depression and I believe I also suffer from a possible case of Bipolarity or ADHD or something along those lines and I dont have a great economical standing and I need to find treatment and I need to find a clinic of a good health insurance that could cover some sort of good treatment.
