Quote From: bendladyIn response to the the last response. I clearly stated that I can't go to see another Dr. because This DR. is the ONLY one in my area that is qualified to deal with ADD. The dose upping was also clearly stated that I did discuss this with the DR. and she admitted it was a mistake but she chose to leave the MG.'s at the higher dose. I also stated that I did research the drugs and that's how I found out the severe side effects. A DR. will only see you on app. basis and if the DR. says it isn't nessesery than no appointment is given, therefore going into the office would be useful only in waisting time.
WHen I say "Do some internet research find a board on this site with other parents with ADD children, or make your own. Get informed. " I mean talk to other parents get ideas from them.
What is the reason you can't go to another area to find a doctor? I grew up in a small town and we only had the one Dr, my parents often drove to the next town, when I needed braces they drove to the next city, it was a two hour drive monthly.
IF this doctor doesn't think it is necessary then I would report him to the Medical Assocation.
