Ok so even though the new PCP agreed about the ADD, she was reluctant to give me anything other than Strattera. She thought I should see a psych doctor. She asked if i wanted to be formally tested, I thought hey that can't hurt the situation, so why not.

so she referred me to a doctor (more about him in a bit), and on the referral ordered a "neuro-psych test" to be done. what is that exactly? what can i expect?

Now. this doctor. I had him a few years ago as my prof for a psych class at my community college. he didn't like me much, cause well, i missed alot of classes *lol*
I was referred to his partner in the office by my previous PCP, and this partner guy was an *******. treated me like crap. blew me off, totally ignored everything I had to say, wouldn't even look at the research I had done online and printed out, said it was worthless....his "test" was some questions that were ridiculous! for a retard! like who was the president, who was the previous president, asked me to repeat a list of three items after he said them, and then asked again a minute later...asked me to add like 2 plus 4...seriously! he then claimed that maybe it was ADD, but because I mentioned the sleep problem (which I now know was due to the beginnings of the fibro, i hadn't always had the slepe problems) he said that I was more than likely "merely depressed"...nevremidn that fact that i do NOT fit any of the diagnostic criteria for depression, i don't feel sad/whatever for days on end, as the book says....
So anyways. because this guy may posisbly recognize my name (but just as likely may not since its been a few years since i was his "student") and because he shares an office with this *******, i'm really worried that he'll blow me off again.

My mother said that I can tell him that he can talk to her, that she'll verify that all this has gone back to childhood.

Also, because of the fact that when i'm in a doctor's office, i'm always nervous and my mind is racing, i always write stuff down. do you guys think it would be a bad thing for me to type up a big list of all my "symptoms", or "bad traits"? do you think that the doctor would take offense to that?
what if he says he doesn't agree with my PCP's, and says again that is simply depression???
i have tried effexor (from the ******* AND my first rheumotologist), which didn't do a damn thing for me. around 6 years ago I was thought to have anxiety disorder, so i tried buspar and paxil (month or so each, either no results or negative results). i think i've also tried prozac, but i can't remember if its that or something else as the other anti-d that i was put on.
