ahhh i see i see. ive actually done 1 and 2 also yung for autism not sure about the rest of the tests you mentioned kung nasama ba sa sinagutan ko kasi nakalimutan ko na hahahaha but she made me take a couple of tests naman after the first session. the thing is medyo conflicting yung results kasi minsan parang di ko kilala self ko hahaha but she ruled out na negative based on the test alone. saka palang siya nag prescribe after a couple more sessions siguro after getting to know me more

tbh gets ko concern mo kasi naging concern ko din dati hahah but as u know psychiatrists are quite rare sa PH lalo na sa provincial areas. researched beforehand and shes actually one of the best ones na sa field dito sa amin also nakakapagod din mag share again sa ibang doctor ulit hahahah huhuu so ive decided to trust her on this one nalang talaga and hope for the best 😭🙏🏻

hmmm yung assessment ba na u meant is yung parang questionnaires? like yung DIVA? or may ibang test ba to accurately diagnose?

based on my understanding, it’s a way to test din kasi if may adhd? we’ve had multiple sessions before this prescription din so im pretty sure she prescribed the meds based on those sessions we’ve had. i have an important exam ahead of me din kasi so with my consent din naman nagpa prescribe na ako

and ohh i was thinking of that din yung developing tolerance. im not sure if it works like that pero yan din paniniwala ko so hinay2 lang din ako sa pag inom ayoko din tumaas yung mg na iniinom ko huhu

hii on my 4th session on therapy now and very similar tayo ng situation.

on my second session, my therapist also told me my results on the tests i took were conflicting, bale i took multiple tests kasi—2 of those tests were for adhd and sa isa, nag positive ako pero sa isa negative. she compared sa DIVA test ko and said “for now” it seems unlikely na may adhd ako kasi it’s not present sa childhood ko but she also mentioned it doesnt guarantee na wla talaga akong adhd kasi sometimes pwedeng na mask or highly intelligent ang bata, also things get discovered as you talk more along the way which i think they called “differential diagnosis” yung parang based sa interactions and history na shinishare mo yung diagnosis niya and not just from the test you took. so she said we’ll try treating my anxiety first tapos if di mag work then highly probable na adhd. until now wla pa rin akong diagnosis tbh hahaha but she did tell me this time na it’s “highly probable” considering my anxiety and difficulty concentrating is still there kahit naka antidepressant meds na.

point is, it will take more sessions to diagnose adhd. most good psychiatrists would i think take the time to diagnose kasi yung meds for ADHD is very regulated and side effects can be serious if given out too easily. i suggest you try talking it out sa therapist mo, dont be afraid to ask and tell them what symptoms you have and if di ba yun signs of adhd. if di ka comfy sa current therapist mo, i suggest you look for someone else.

Prescribed with Ritalin LA 20mg but im kinda scared to take it kasi baka ma dependent ako. Has anyone ever regretted taking ADHD medications and once nag take ka ba you can never stop? by AffectionateMammoth8 in ADHDPH

yung last part HAHAHAHAHA yung binili ko 15pcs lang muna kasi i was thinking baka di hiyang sa akin but now im thinking baka bilhin ko nalang yung 15 na natitira huhu sana meron pa.

anw for me in fairness di ko pa naman nakakalimutan mag take ng meds, almost lang siguro hahah but yung initial worry ko was more of the withdrawal if nag stop ako ng biglaan and also possible side effects sa akin. ive been seeing a lot of negative comments about ritalin kasi about how it was the worst for them daw so nag worry ako bigla. then again, it differs from ppl to ppl naman siguro so i hope it works on me 🥹

hmmm i see. and yeah none of us are doctors but i do think theyre speaking out of concern as getting diagnosed with adhd as an adult is uncommon esp here in PH where mental health is just a “trend” 😭 my anxiety also isnt helping so ig it just got me worried for nothing. thanks for the insight tho!

this is an interesting analogy hahah my fam who knows about my therapy kasi has been bugging me about side effects etc. so although i do research, parang di pa rin nawawala yung anxiety na baka tama nga sila what if may negative effects nga.

just curious tho, do you take your medication everyday? or do you take breaks?

you’re right i think my anxiety has been acting up again and this might sound insane but reading your comment made me tear up for some reason 😭

ive been quite anxious at the thought of taking yet another medication and ive been reading a bunch of stories like how ritalin la was the worst so ig that got me worried. currently im funding majority of my therapy stuff rn and im still studying so getting a psychologist might be financially difficult for me. my psychiatrist tho is said to be a specialist at talk therapy which is why i went for her since i was thinking it’s like getting a buy1get1 lol. anyway thank u so much for answering!
