Suspected Adult ADHD at 30 — Doctor prescribed Axepta + Flunil, asked for psychometric tests costing ₹5k
I'm 30, been struggling for the past 3 years with focus and follow-through. Can't study for upskilling, keep delaying everything, procrastinate heavily on personal goals.
But weirdly I'm completely regular with gym and somehow manage to cover my work tasks before sprint deadlines. It's specifically self-directed goals where I completely fall apart.
Went to a Sr. Neuro-Psychiatrist today at a private clinic. He did a clinical interview, suspects Adult ADHD, and prescribed: Axepta 18mg (Atomoxetine) Flunil (Fluvoxamine) 10mg For 5 days trial first, then follow up. He's also asked me to get psychometric assessments done -:HAMA, HAMD, and ADHD Behavioural Questionnaire — which are costing ₹5k at his clinic.
My questions: 1)Does this presentation actually sound like Adult ADHD or could it be something else
2)Is the prescribed combination reasonable for a first timer? 3)Are the psychometric tests worth ₹5k ?
