My last doctor was against prescribing stimulants but they REALLY help me. Do you know any in the south SF bay area that can help me?

I think doctors/pharmacists/nurses etc. should be required to disclose their limitations (whether self-imposed or not) when they apply for a job. If there is something on the job description that they are unable or unwilling to do, then they should not get hired. I do think it is hypocritical of them to impose their will on patients and other doctors by hiding a request by the patient from them. As a metaphor consider: if someone is not able to lift something over 50 pounds, they might still be able to other parts required of a job, but they would go find someone to help them lift if it was necessary; they should not going and leave something in undone (unlifted) in the middle of the floor then HIDE the fact that it is not done from other people who could complete the task. BTW, the doctor or whatever is perfectly fine to learn a specialized version of medicine that does not use certain techniques; how else would their cult/religion get medical care unless they had special doctors trained in those techniques. If those doctors were to apply for a job OUTSIDE their specialized group, however, they should accept their limitations. They might have to get a lesser position or take a lower pay scale because they are limited. If they are so intrusive that they cannot allow other people to get their jobs done as well, then the nut-job belongs in their little commune with the other people like them.

I to am ADHD and have had problems in the past because Doctors are nervous about prescribing a class 1 controlled drug. Your best bet is to go to a psychiatrist that deals with just medication.
Make sure you have the fax number and so forth of the Doctor that use to prescribe to so you can have all your records transferred where there is no question that you should be on the meds. If you come prepared it looks better. You can not get your records on your own you have to sign a request to another doctor.

Nope...
If you go to the office of any doctor, he or she will refuse your idea of prescription, because it indicates a serious addiction, and drug seeking behavior...
It would be very foolish of a doctor to comply with such request, no matter how politely you depict your personal "improvement" with amphetamine derivatives...
There are other medicines, that will "really" help you, without the risk of developing an addiction to it...
The object of a medicine, whatever it may be, is NOT to make you feel "really" better, but curing the cause of the symptoms, that is, a proper treatment for the background cause of the disease, not to stimulate you.....
I am afraid you will need to change medicine...not doctor...

It may be a better idea to find a doctor that will look for the CAUSE of your condition and treat the CAUSE, rather than masking the symptoms with dangerous drugs.
Best wishes and good luck.

better off going to the doctor, and not asking for drugs, doctors who see "drug seeking behavior" will give you anything but an addictive drug. especially with this meth craze that is rampaging this country. I know because I have abused dexadrine numerous times and its a dangerous drug.
