Suggest Medication For Brain Injury

Hello, I severely injured my brain last year taking an overdose of serqeul in a botched attempt to kill myself. I have add and was taking 20 milligrams a day of adderall and decided to try different dosages to see if it helped me. It did and discovered that 40 milligrams was best. The thing is, we didnt see a Doctor for my condition and decided on our own that that was what I needed. We went to an authority on adderall and just simply exlained my dilemma to her and asked for 40 milligrams per day. She was happy to do it but now we are being flagged for Doctor shopping and I can no longer get the drug. I found out pretty easily that it is legal to take adderal with some neurological damage a.............by the way this drug helps my functioning by at least 50% and gives me a much better quality of life. Anyway, would neurological testing prove my point? Sincerely, Daniel Lamb, Iola, Kansas

Neurologist,  's  Response
Although a neurological examination may be worthwhile getting in someone such as yourself what I believe you could use more than that would be NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL evaluation and depending upon the area of specialty of the neuropsychologist they may be able to "prove" your point. Please rate this as a 5 STAR ENCOUNTER and write me at: XXXX for more questions or comments.
