Has anyone done the objective ADHD testing required by the IPN to continue adderall or any other ADHD medication? Was it expensive?What was the outcome?Did you have to go twice, where?Did it slow the process of being cleared to return to work?

Keep in mind, most of the professionals IPN will send you too have "special" IPN pricing. It is more expensive and IPN may decide not to let you use private insurance for the evaluation.

Gotcha. Here for you regardless, I know meds are very important. I would be going crazy. The difference of being medicated for ADHD and not is night and day.
