I've had adhd since I was a little kid. My mom knew this but didn't think medication was the key. I ended up getting on stratera which did nothing. My room mate had adderral so I took 20 mg of it a few times. Wow. This stuff helped me out big time. When I came home I would study for a couple of hours and not mind, instead of watching tv. My grades improved as I bummed off of him(sounds so bad). I told my mom what a great effect it had on me and she set up an appointment with a psychiatrist for tuesday. This lady knows I have taken adderral in the past without a prescription but says she'll prescribe me to it after I come in. What kind of tests can I expect if any?

Another question I have is: should I tell her that 20mg is the right dosage? I've tried 10mg to no avail. Or will she think i'm just abusing it? I know in my heart that 20 mg will do nothing but good and anything less might be a waste. I want to keep it completely honest with this woman but how do I come off like i'm not an adderral fiend just trying to get a fix?(lol) any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
