Need a good Doctor-Tampa, FL | ADHD Information
HELP! I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD in October 2005 in Virginia. I have recently moved to Tampa, FL and am looking for a good psychiatrist in the Tampa area who specializes in Adult ADHD. I did not have insurance when I first moved here and hadn't had my medication for about 6 months and when I managed to save up enough money to see a doctor, I met with resistance as far as being prescribed my medication (I am on a high dosage of Adderall) even though I had brought in my prescription history showing that I was taking it at that dosage for quite some time. Apparently, it is being abused here in Florida to such an extent that people who actually need it are being looked at suspiciously.
I was given multitudes of diagnostic tests that proved I was ADHD. Now that I have insurance, I would like to continue treatment as I have gone without it for about 6 months and am getting back to the point where I had short term memory loss, racing thoughts, inability to focus, etc. and being that I am at a new job, I don't want out of control ADHD messing it up for me.
Does anyone know of a good psychiatrist in the Tampa area who is open minded?! Your help is appreciated. Thanks!
My doc is awesome. Her name is Jennifer Bermudez and she is in
