First post - don't know where to start looking for help

[hotstuff359]

I have always been what I referred to as hyper, type A, etc. Over 30 years ago I had an overactive thyroid which I received radiation treatment for and put on Synthroid generic since. My thyroid levels have been fine since.

I currently work for a psychologist doing part time clerical work. After working closely with him for over a year he suggested I get checked out for Adult ADHD.

I am always flitting from one thing to another and my concentration and short term memory are bad. Have all the classic signs I read about including mood swings, anxiety, etc.

I've been on Bupropion XL for anxiety for about 2 years. Not sure if it is helping.

Looking forward to this group.

Have you gotten an official diagnosis yet?

I don't know whether my employer, with a doctorate in pyschology qualifies as someone who gave me an official diagnosis. He told me to see my PCP and get his opinion which I intend to do. Is this the correct route to getting diagnosed? Meds for ADHD? Or should I head directly to a psychiatrist?
