Possible for Ex Drug Addict to Get Adderall for ADHD Treatment?

Question by Joe: Possible for ex drug addict to get adderall for ADHD treatment?
[rewrite]So my entire life ive been from one ADD drug to the next. Ritalin, concerta, and focalin do nothing but make me go crazy so those types of drugs are out. I am currently on wellbutrin which isnt doing anything for my attention at all, just makes me smile a little more. Dexedrine made me feel nothing and Strattera just dosent work. Basically the one drug that did ANY good for me was Adderall and i screwed up by taking a months prescription in a day (didnt go to an emergency room, was totally fine no seizures my pdoc only knows about this event because i told him). I am an ex cocaine addict (before the adderall) and used to drink something close to 7-10 cups of coffee a day before ANY of these things so now that im trying to get my life in order adderall would appear to be my one option for success. The issue’s are: 1) well obviously i have a history of abuse, thats not good and, 2) I have an EXTREMELY high tolerance to it (might have been the cause of my abuse as i had it before i abused the drug) so 3) would need a very high dose for effectiveness. Im not worried about abusing it anymore, im done with all that so im not asking how to con my doctor into prescribing it for me im just asking how can i explain that the wellbutrin is ineffective and it might actually be worth it to try this one more time. Ive been off cocaine for 6 years and havnt touched adderall since prescribed 4 years ago, needless to say rehab taught me well so if anyone can spare any advice i would appreciate it.

What Should I Expect at My 1st Visit With a Pain Management Specialist?

Question by Queen V: What should I expect at my 1st visit with a pain management specialist?
[rewrite]I have my 1st appt with a pain management dr. this afternoon, and I’m a little nervous. I have chronic back pain and pain from endometriosis. I’ve been in pain for so long and have so many symptoms. I don’t know how to word everything and not leave anything out. I’ve been given the runaround so many times by other docs, I’m afraid I won’t be taken seriously. I’m in so much pain and haven’t been able to sleep because I can’t get comfortable. I feel desperate at this point. I don’t want to look like a druggie but I’m really hoping they can give me something to lessen my pain so I can get some sleep.
