Another option would be to start by visiting an ADHD specific clinic. Your PCP can give you a referral. I had a great experience with Dr. Jennifer Harris at Brigham. After an initial evaluation, we talked through all the options: EF Coaching, groups, medication. I work in the field (and have coached the hell out of my EF system for many years πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«), so I was there specifically to discuss medication. We met every few weeks when I was originally starting on meds. It’s not for everyone, but was a game changer for me. Good luck!

Curious, is your PCP also at Mass General Brigham? Super helpful rec, but might not be an option otherwise :/

(I was recently diagnosed by a psychologist in a different system, but they could only give me a giant list of places to try calling for a psych appointment. I instead tried calling a Mass General Brigham location that would have been very convenient for me, but the scheduling staff sounded offended I would even ask without having a PCP at MGB despite 5 of 5 psychiatrists showing as "accepting new patients" online.)
