I told my psych I tried adderall at a party once and how it affected me differently and that led me to an adhd diagnosis and a prescription for it

I’m not sure, but I definitely wouldn’t if they can write prescriptions bc they probably won’t be willing to give you any controlled substances

Entirely depends on your therapist. Most of mine were appreciative and curious of it but my partner had a psychiatrist who labeled him “drug-seeking” because of it. Just try to be abundantly clear about your intention and leave no room for speculation.

I think there’s also just stigma around substances. Using any substance that alters your mind can be a slippery slope for someone who struggles with substance abuse. I thought I didn’t have that problem, for most of my life, but I went to rehab for 12 weeks and since then I see things differently. I can admit I have a substance abuse problem. I share that with my therapist and psychiatrist as well. They’re a part of my support system.

my therapist is actually pushing me to get medication because she believes I have textbook symptoms and would really benefit from it. And I want it too but we all know it doesn’t come from a vending machine and I have something that will make or break my life so I took a study drug today for the first time and it worked incredibly well so I wanted to talked to them about it and needed reassurance that I won’t be reported 😂
