You might tell him it helps a little and ask if he thinks a higher dose would help more. Or say it is pooping out too early in the day...he might suggest a 10mg IR as an add-on. It is pretty common to increase from the starting dose of a stimulant (ask my 8 year old).
If he isn't helpful you can always try someone else...a psychopharmacologist or an ADHD specialist will be less likely to view you as a criminal. I found out I was ADD because I confessed to my pdoc that the stimulants I took in college made me feel normal.
