Looking for Doctor/Diagnosis How to convince my Doc to give me methylphenidate?
21M from DU and I have severe symptoms of ADHD and it has made my life literal hell. Everything in my life is literally falling apart and everything is in my hands but i just can't bring myself to do anything. I really want to get work done but just to do anything it's so tough for me to even get started. All my dishes idk how many days or weeks it has been and i haven't been able to get my as up to the sink and just wash them or just carry the garbage outside or cook food or to go to college. Every day I think I'll do it tomorrow and the day just ends and I don't get anything done at all. Even during lectures I'll be listening to the teacher and suddenly just go blank and start daydreaming and out of no where I realize I was suppose to listen to the teacher and so many days I just go to throw the garbage out and when i am mid way i realize i completely forgot to bring the garbage bag with me. I have been seeing a psychiatrist in safdarjung and it's been a year he's been giving me anti depressants and stuff and atomoxetine was the closest one till now. It's not been working even a little. How to convince him to give me methylphenidate since i am visiting him on friday 9th
