Hello, my name is Tammy Ernst, I have been diagnosed with adhd, post traumatic stress disorder. Brain injury, And I never sleep for 2 to 3 days, until I am completely exhausted. I am currently going to Hamilton Counseling. The problem is that my nurse practictioner at hamilton counseling. gives me antidepressants, and sleep meds that don;t work, and my family doctor gave me one month of valium for my nerves, and Ritalin for 1 month. Now, I can't get Hamilton counseling to give me the same. Even though it was helping. Looking for new psychiatrist in butler county to hopefully straighten out my meds. I also have Medicare complete by Secure Horizons, and Ohio medicaid can you help me please!

Hi
You have ADHD with PTSD and insomnia. Firstly, I don't understand how a nurse practitioner is prescribing antidepressants and sleep medicines. It has got to be unlawful.
I think you have ADHD with anxiety disorder. First you should be put on stimulants like Methyl Phenidate or Dexamphetamine . We have a lot of long acting preparations which need to be tailored according to your response . it may be needed to give some sleep inducer but giving anti anxiety can help sleep better
Please consult a psychiatrist and discuss these issues
GOOD LUCK
