spoke to one psychiatrist who told me I had it and gave me meds, foolishly spoke to another psychiatrist about changing my ritalin back to vyvanse bc ritalin was hurting my stomach, and he decided (during a 15 min appointment) that I actually Didn't have it, and now I need to see someone who specializes in ADHD (or, I've been advised to by my therapist). those places get to charge whatever they want, because late stage capitalism is a disease. I'm afraid to keep pestering regular psychiatrists, because if I get labeled as a "drug seeker" it'll be even harder for me.

extremely jealous of your psych appointment only costing $150. even "regular" psych appointments here are $200+. still, I'm glad you had a better experience than I did nonny.
