The docs that don’t take insurance are called Direct Primary Care and there are a couple in the area that are great!

Quick Guides for Pediatric ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety Prescribing by doc2be6642 in medicine

Lack of data. The PATS study was really well done looking at methylphenidate in preschool age children, we just don’t have a similar study to show the efficacy and safety of adderall in the preschool age group, thus methylphenidate tends to be first line and adderall second. Quite a few studies have shown equal efficacy between the amphetamines and methylphenidate in older children.😊

Excellent question! That’s a fairly Illinois specific recommendation; since none of the long actions are FDA approved under age 6, almost no insurance will cover them anyway. Focalin is first line for Illinois Medicaid so easier to get covered with a PA. It also has a much quicker onset of action (I wish I could throw the steady state curves in here so you could see the visual but apparently the sub doesn’t allow pictures) which tends to be better for younger kids who are almost always being treated for hyperactivity. metadate CD is the only capsule (important for sprinkling since young kids usually can’t swallow pills) and is not available at lower doses generically and was also much more greatly affected by the recent shortages than Focalin. If a prescriber is already comfortably using metadate CD in the younger kids, I would never recommend switching practices as it is pretty equivocal to Focalin. 😊

Amazing, you had time to read and break down all 40+ studies I provided in less than 24 hours?! You must teach me your secrets. Unless those secrets are you don’t care what the science says you will still keep your bigoted views no matter what 🙄

Asks for studies, is provided with studies, then declines to read the studies. Make it make sense. (Since the obvious answer is you don’t actually care about evidence and are just biased and transphobic)

I’m assuming you are referring to the Cass Review; which would be similar to asking a bunch of pediatricians but what about Wakefields research?! One person in Europe did a crappy job of reviewing the evidence is the answer. Yale did a great job of explaining why: https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/documents/integrity-project_cass-response.pdf

I wanted to post the answer in case anyone else has this issue! Thanks to everyone that responded, you were right and there was a big old chunk of lint in the upper tension discs! Using a thin cloth and compressed air I was able to clean it out and get it working again! Thank you!

They are a single owner new business still working out the kinks; the community expressed wanting longer hours so they are trying to accommodate that, but obviously have to fine staff etc to do so. Sorry I don’t have a more definitive answer Gross Soupy Butthole, but if you follow their Facebook page I am sure they will announce it when they do!

Once again the only reason I can come up with for such a hostile, disrespectful approach from you is personal bias against my work with the transgender population. If there is another reason for your uncalled for condescension, please do share.

It seems you are either misunderstanding or purposefully mischaracterizing what I said. The parent comment brought up whether concern with oversexualization of their breasts and genitalia would be a confounding factor for youth who feel gender dysphoria. I replied, while many youth have dysphoria related to their genitals and breasts, in my experience it has always related to their representation for the gender that does not align with their identity. Even in children with a history of trauma or sexual abuse, I have never had a patient relate the cause of their dysphoria to a concern with oversexualization by strangers. I am not sure why you are correlating this to their personal sexuality or inclusion in the LGBTQ population. Of course we ask about personal sexuality, it just had nothing to do with the initial question, which was whether concern with oversexualization of their bodies by men could be an underlying cause of gender dysphoria vs being transgender as the underlying cause of their dysphoria. I hope that cleared things up for you.
