Saw Dr. J today for the first time, a psychiatrist, I had to see him almost as a formality as Dr C, my GP, had basically already told me that I have ADHD. I needed the Dr J to confirm the diagnosis and give the authority to start treatment on stimulants, which he did. On Monday I go back to Dr C who will talk me through the different kinds and he will probably trial me on both to see which is more effective. I will see Dr C every 3 months and Dr J once a year.
Dr J suggested that I might need to change my anxiety medication due to a few side effects that haven't improved, but he said to see how I go on the stimulants first.
What an amazing thing to finally be over the line! I made it, it took a lot of perseverance, courage and many hours sifting through forums and reports online to get me where I am, but it was all worth it. :)
