I'm going to try to get medication for my ADD symptoms. Should I go to a psychiatrist or a general physician for this?

general physician

That's what I was thinking as well. It begs the question of what is even the point of psychiatrists then?

I go to my psychiatrist for my schizophrenia meds. they specialize in it
>>8312443
they are probably more knowledgeable and experienced with your problems than a general physician
in my experience they do more in depth testing that may or may not reveal other ailments similar/in addition to ADHD, in which case they can put you on several medications
that said you should still probably start with your general physician, as they can direct you further

Meds aren't 100% for any mental illness, and can cause bad side effects.
By all means trust your doctor, he knows his shit, but take it with a grain of salt and do your own research before you take anything.
How hard is it go get meds like amphetamine and benzos? Like not like so I can abuse/sell them but I have pretty bad anxiety and would like to get a handful(4-10) of kpins for a month. Should I tell my doctors my symptoms or tell him straight up I know kpins will help me. Or is directly asking for a med bad?

Depends on how attractive you are. If you're ugly they'll just jerk you around and put you on SSRIs and shit for probably like a year before they'll give you stims/benzos. If you're an attractive male you can get stims, and if you're an attractive female you can get either. I've literally fought with doctors for a decade over crippling depression and anxiety and they just keep jerking me around.

Wow u reallg are mentally ill if you think it is some plot cause youre ugly lmao
>>8312847
Not really. I am attractive but I imagine people are more willing to cooperate and believe attractive people. Maybe you're just too young and naive to understand this?

Think it has more to do with how they imagine your life is based on your looks.
If an 'attractive' male covered in tattoos and gang clothes went in asking I imagine they would be less likely to hand out stims or benzos compared to an ugly looking guy who comes off as a wagie or office drone.

I would assume attractive and intimidating are mutually exclusive unless you're a female.
