Just to let you know, I was not prescribed stimulants from the start. I tried a lot of different ADs and my pdoc and I got to know each other pretty well in the process.

When the time came that I asked for a stimulant trial, I was not just "some guy" asking for speed. The fact that we had worked together for some time helpled him feel comfortable with the trial.

I don't know if there is any quick way around that; in defense of pdocs, they really do have to be careful or they may have professional difficulties.

Here are a few links of prior posts on stimulants for depression:
