I know it's common we ADHD peeps tend to be constantly switching docs/psychs. I have been on SSRIs for more than 10 years now and don't know if my issues are due to untreated ADHD.
My previous 2 psychs haven't been that helpful.
I was going through a rough patch after trying Stimulants, and the doc started mentioning that I was extremely depressed, and that maybe I should consider a mental health institution. I commented multiple times that I felt anxiety and stress was my issue but she disagreed, but still tried to put me on Seroquel off label, which I never took.
I felt that my psych was treating me like a child, telling me similar stuff to "man up, grab the bull by the horns" etc.
I started seeing my current therapist due to feelings that my psychiatrist was exhausted from dealing with me.
Current therapist doesn't even see me for more than 20 mins, I am never able to ask enough questions or list my symptoms. I also had issues with her due to not refilling my prescription for multiple days even after calling her.
I'm currently on vortioxetine 20mg and gabapentin for "sleep". Current psych mentioned I might give guanfacine a try.
I don't know, i feel I should look for a new psychiatrist, maybe someone that specializes in ADHD? Or am I just overthinking and I'm the one at fault and not "listening" to the doctors?
Meds are a personal journey. Only you can guage what benefits they are giving you. Meds also can't solve 100% of the problems. Listen to your doc about how long the minimum time to trial a med must be, because often it takes a while. Docs are also people. They are fallible, emotional, sometimes illogical etc. Finding the right medical professional for you might take a while, but do your best to give them a chance before moving to the next one. Also try other things to help you accommodate your problems. As an example I run to help with my mood.
