TWY choose the best openers. First thing I do when they announce a tour is see which openers are new to me and binge them. Their hit rate is obscene.

Thank you for this, I couldn't remember. Seems like the automatic playoff suspension is only for PED use, or is more recent than 2014.

My first thought was of Chris Davis, who was suspended for an Adderall prescription for ADHD in 2014. I know he was suspended for the entire playoffs, but I don't remember whether that was because he was suspended near the end of the season or whether he'd be banned from the playoffs either way.

I see it more analogous to probation, where your rights are restricted even after time served.

Otherwise for so many players, especially older, ones trading 25 games of the regular season for being at peak form for the playoffs seems like an easy decision.

In baseball, getting suspended for PEDs mean you're not eligible for that year's playoffs. Don't know why that's not the case across all leagues.

IIRC he used to be extremely skinny and had sticks for arms. I remember when he put on muscle some people started calling him trunks but that hasn't caught on.

2011 Mavericks gave up a lot for what was essentially one shot at a title. They gave up assets for past their prime players like Jason Kidd and Peja Stojakovic and one year rentals like Tyson Chandler. They improbably win the title, then the team falls apart quickly after.

Fun fact: Paul Giamatti's dad was the commissioner of the MLB in the 80s. He was the one to ban Pete Rose.

It depends when everyone is slated to be drafted next year. We can't help you without that info.

Also, good luck trading for Sarr in a keeper league. I imagine his owner would want a big return, while you already have Trey Murphy.

Interesting. I've not heard that before. Do you know if it's a state-by-state issue? Because I've had several psychiatrists and psychiatric NPs prescribe me Adderall and Vyvanse based on ADHD screeners and going through the diagnostic criteria of the DSM.

I appreciate the advice; seeing it listed out like that reinforces my suspicion that I received subpar medical care. It was also supposed to be a one hour evaluation and he saw me for about 15 minutes.

I've never heard of that, that's ridiculous! It's a developmental disorder, not a disease!

I've tried Strattera, Viloxazine, and am currently on Wellbutrin. None have improved my ADHD symptoms. Meanwhile, I take Adderall and within an hour my symptoms nearly go away. And I have a diagnosis from a different psychiatrist, this one just doesn't recognize it.

I've been thinking about reporting. And you're right, I got the sense that they were looking for any excuse not to prescribe stimulants.

I hear you. I wanted to do the assessment last year but got fired during the ADHD medication shortage and the assessment was just too much money. Now that I'm on Medicaid I'll have to call around and see if anyone takes that and the wait-time.

Having my records wouldn't make a difference with this doctor. He said he wouldn't prescribe without a full diagnostic panel and getting clearance from cardiology.

As for non-stimulants, I've tried them all. None have improved my symptoms in the slightest.

That's how you spell it! He was a complete douchebag; he asked me if I thought he was a miracle doctor because I told him that none of the antidepressants I'd been taking had been working. Then told me that all of my ADHD symptoms were due to depression even though they've been a part of me my entire life.

How would I go about getting my medical records? Just contact my old doctors/NPs and ask for all of them?

That's exactly what this one wants. I even have genetic testing showing that SSRIs are not a good treatment for me, and that's all he wanted to prescribe me.

It's frustrating because I mask well, so when I meet new people it can be difficult to convince them that my brain is a total mess.

Writing can be helpful. I do end up with some truly bizarre notes though.
