Hello, I’m currently in the process of finding an appt slot with mental health services in hopes of getting an ADHD diagnosis. After looking into ADHD and my own symptoms and previously being prescribed medication for anxiety, I’m hoping to get a vyvanse prescription. Is anyone in WA familiar with this process? I know they don’t typically consider vyvanse as the first choice but I truly believe this would be a better fit over adderall. Any opinions and suggestions for navigating this appt would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to add one of my bigger symptoms of adhd is bored eating/ binge eating when bored. That is another reason I was leaning more towards vyvanse. Happy to hear about people’s adderall experiences too!!
