So, I just got "provisional diagnosis" of ADHD-PI, whatever that means. The person who diagnosed me said now I have to go to my primary care provider to get medication prescribed. I have to wait until January to get in to see him, but I have been trying to get all this figured out since July, so what's another few weeks?
He mentioned stimulant (Adderal, Concerta) and non-stimulant (Straterra) meds. He said if it works, the results should be noticeable very quickly.
Is this a normal process? This is now going to be the 4th person I am seeing about this. Which meds work better in your experience? How long did it take to see improvement after starting meds? How do you quantify improvement? Is there anything I need to know going into my appointment?
Thanks...
