      Right like, as someone who takes Vyvanse for my adhd… any of the symptoms that they stated were reported by other doctors would make me question if my dosage was high enough lol. Also anyone that does have adhd, if they’re medicated a lot of us struggle just remembering to take the medication at the same time daily. Let alone taking a bunch of them. Plus if someone were taking more than their prescribed dosage, it’s likely that they’ve been medically neglected an don’t have a high enough dosage + haven’t been given the tools/outlets to build a better routine, learn strategies to lower anxiety etc. episodes like this one spread so much misinformation and push a negative agenda about medicated people that have adhd.

      It may be in this case that she's got high functioning ADHD as I imagine most doctors (I hope) whom have ADHD have high functioning ADHD and technically can get by without medication.
      My brother in law has ADHD and was diagnosed as a child just like me but I'd describe his ADHD as high functioning as he never went on medication and always had exceptionally high grades. Compared to me, I'd say I have low functioning ADHD as I have struggled with the symptoms all of my life even while on higher doseages of prescriptions. I'm currently on 40mg of Act Amphetamine and I feel like if I want to function at a 80% I'd have to maybe double it but my doctor is hesitant because I'm on other medications as well. My executive functioning is non existent and I'm certain that I've got undiagnosed learning disabilities/disorders and perhaps even some moderate personality disorders. On top of that I've also got diagnosed Generalized anxiety disorder which was only diagnosed in my twenties but I know I've had it almost as long as I've had ADHD symptoms.
      Despite us both having the same ADHD diagnosis (not ADD as we could have potentially been diagnosed as 90s babies who were diagnosed around 7-8) he does not relate to my struggles at all and I've even wondered if he actually still has ADHD.
      But through observation and interaction with him more frequently I've realized he definitely still does as he does get distracted and hyper fixated and forgetful but not to the same level of impairment that I have. He's got a job that certainly must get boring yet he's still productive enough to function. I cannot function and I don't even have a job. I have never developed coping skills like he has and at 28 I don't know if I can.
      I may be giving the writers too much credit thinking that a doctor with high functioning ADHD might only portray the textbook symptoms people think of.
      I cannot imagine a person with my severe symptoms even making it through medical school

      But it wasn't just one person that voiced their concerns. She's a doctor who is responsible for the lives of many patients. You're making it seem like she's a victim of malicious intent, when she nearly cost a patient their life because she became addicted to her prescribed medicine. Don't get me wrong, I don't tell people everything about myself, nor do I talk about things to other people that people close to me have told me in confidence. But in this case, she was a danger to her patients and I don't believe these people who reported her were doing it out of malice towards her. It really depends on the situation, if she were at risk of harming herself or another person, then she needs to be reported even if it ends up breaching the trust you have with her.

      There are all unrealistic lol. and the drug addicted doctor storyline has been done to death in every medical drama. In reality a doctor addicted to drugs would be fired instantly. and it wouldn't matter how brilliant of a doctor they are, They'd be gone.

    Title error: Adderall is NOT a painkiller, it’s a amphetamine, aka, stimulant, with a high potential for abuse even amoung patients with ADHD. They have to double or triple up to get the same effect that someone with out adhd, who will get highly off just 1 dose.

      Except we don't use it to get high - it makes our brains function more 'normally'. Which is why it's a medication for us and a recreational drug for those without ADHD.

    The whole "doctor who who does drugs to deal with trauma and is a functioning drug addict" storyline has been done to death. We saw it in House with Dr. House's addiction to Vicodin we saw it in ER with Carter's addiction we saw it in Grey's Anatomy with Ameila. (Yeah I totally found her believable as a brain surgeon 🙄) In reality a doctor addicted to narcotics would lose their job instantly. It wouldn't matter how brilliant of a doctor they are. They'd be off the show and we'd never see them again. I feel like these medical dramas just recycle old characters and storylines from other medical dramas. I understand why people like medical dramas, they are entertaining. But they really are like the Macdonald's of tv shows. They can be fun to watch but there is so much better and compelling tv out there. And these medical dramas are all the same now. I can barely tell them apart.

      But it’s not true. Many nurses and doctors are functioning addicts but you have to prove it , many are slick and buy stuff to supplement their needs. Besides, if you’re not caught being high or made a negligent mistake then what can they say or do?

      Both ER and House had much better story arcs. Carter had major trauma caused by his stabbing, House had long term chronic pain and became over reliant, (I’ve never seen Grays anatomy so can’t comment) This storyline was done so the actress could take time away for maternity leave. It was badly done by writers who didn’t seem to fully understand the condition. I love this show, but this particular storyline really grates on me.

    This isn’t true. This is a horrible representation of ADHD. If you’re addicted, you don’t make careless mistakes or lash out randomly, you don’t lose focus like that.
    Symptoms like that are from UNDER medication. Meaning you’re not taking enough. I know this as someone with ADHD. Do I make mistakes? Sometimes, but with medication I can focus and do my job and keep myself emotionally stable. Before medication I was a wreck.
    If you do take Adderall and abuse it when you DON’T have ADHD, then you’ll see this more often and crashes from addiction.

      Yeh and she has every right to be. She was prescribed a medication by another doctor. She's taking it as prescribed, and she's now being threatened with being fired for taking her prescribed meds. She should walk out and sue the whole hospital for the threat of termination based on her medical history.

    Anyone who has an addiction to this, or any other drug, meds, alcohol etc.. you can slowly wean yourself off it, very slowly. With prayer, God will help you to take those steps to deliverance, and when you least expect it, your miracle deliverance will come. God can give you enough will power to take baby steps too, little by little, just pray to him the whole way through it. His with you, Jesus bless those who are struggling, He loves you very much, go to him, trust him to help fight your battles 😇🌻

      This is very dangerous advice. As someone who takes SSRIs it’s not as easy to pray to Jesus and it goes away. You need to be medically supervised. For example someone who drinks everyday can’t just slow down and quit they need to be supervised otherwise they can have seizures and other life threatening conditions. So please be careful giving advice.

      Exactly when you have ADHD stimulants have an opposite effect, they help with focus, and calm us down. Her behavior would not be “erratic” as the psychiatrist described it would actually help her. Now if she wasn’t taking her meds those behaviors would make more sense.
