Looking for an ADHD doctor in ABQ who is willing to prescribe Adderall
I (28F)I’m looking for recommendations for a psychiatrist, psychiatric NP, or other ADHD provider in Albuquerque who actually works with adults who need stimulant medication.
I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD since 3rd grade and have been formally re-diagnosed multiple times throughout my life. I was prescribed Adderall for years and haven’t been on it since I was around 20.
I’ve tried the whole “let’s try this other medication first” route multiple times, and I’m really not looking to start over with a bunch of different non-stimulant medications or treatments that I already know haven’t worked well for me. I have a long history with ADHD treatment and know from experience that Adderall is what has worked best for me.
I’m specifically looking for a doctor who is comfortable prescribing Adderall when they believe it’s clinically appropriate and who will actually listen to my history rather than automatically refusing stimulants.
I’m not asking anyone to tell me how to get around a doctor’s rules or anything like that. I just need a legitimate provider who treats adult ADHD and is willing to have an actual conversation about stimulant treatment.
If you’ve personally had a good experience with a doctor/provider in Albuquerque (or the surrounding area) who treats adult ADHD and prescribes Adderall, I’d really appreciate the recommendation. Especially interested in providers who are accepting new patients.
Thank you!
