Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of ADD

Hey doc, For the past three years I have believed I have symptoms of ADD. The only thing is my dad doesn t believe me. I have tried vyvanse 70 mg from a friend around 4 times and it seems to really help me in school. I have trouble staying focused and staying on track while reading. When I took vyvanse, all these problems went away. What can I do to get prescribed?

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You should know that self medication and diagnosis can be dangerous. You suspect that you have ADD. But you just have suspicion. You are no psychologist or psychiatrist to have a proper diagnosis. Please understand, even doctors heavily rely on differential diagnosis for proper diagnosis. Please consult a psychologist / psychiatrist for proper diagnosis.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
