I had the complete opposite experience last winter in Ontario. I asked my doctor about ADHD, he had me fill two forms, set up an appointment with a psychologist, who after a couple weeks of appointments was ready to prescribe Atomoxetine (at my request since I wanted stimulants only as a last resort).
I paid for nothing in this entire exchange, and the meds are usually covered by an extended drug plan if you have one.
Yeah, BC chiming in. Any physician can diagnosis you with ADHD. Itβs free, as are all GP appointments.
There is nothing controversial or difficult about getting a diagnosis in this province. And the stimulant-class medications are easy to access and inexpensive if a generic option is available.
I wish they would just give Atomoxetine first. Yes the side effects suck but no abuse concerns and it gets your brain working to be able to navigate the stimulant regulation disaster
