Hello. I am 27 y/o (F). I recently decided to get back on my meds due to starting a medical program. I am also a single mom. I got off of meds due to being treated like a crackhead from providers.
I find a new doctor who at first wanted me to try wellbutrin. It was fine with me i’ve never tried a non stimulant before. Honestly helped me with absolutely nothing but giving me night terrors.
So today was my 30 day check in to see how it was going. I told the doctor i’m no longer taking it and why (other symptoms as well).
At that point, I could tell she was kind of irritated about giving me my script of vyvanse BACK. Mind you- i’ve been diagnosed with ADHD for years. Took a break when I had my son. & also when my PCP moved to a different state (she was a absolutely amazing doctor who never treated me different)
Anyways, the doctor said something to me that made me feel uncomfortable (being judged) “well you are 27 years old now so it’s like how long are you going to be on these medications?”
Excuse me??? Since when did ADHD have an age limit? Said it as if meds are only for children or something?
Idk it really rubbed me the wrong way as if there is some cure or something i’m obviously going to have it the rest of my life. I hate that they make me feel this way because I want meds. I’m in no way a seeker I Haven’t been on them in two years because of this feeling and judgement I receive every time! Before this appt the statement “well it seems you’ve been functioning for a while without them” came up. As if they know my life day in and day out? previous appt was a first initial appt. Yes i’ve been going without them struggling to upkeep with school being a mom just day to day tasks- laundry cooking cleaning etc. All to avoid the judgement from a PCP.
