I'm sorry you are struggling so much right now-- I understand, as my son just got kicked out of college for his low grades-- he didn't want to take ADD meds anymore. :o(We always got his ADD meds from a GP doc..... our doctor will prescribe anything that we ask for. With that said though-- it seems doctors all have their own way of doing things.... so that's not a guarantee that your doctor will do the same.
I'd do like others have said-- tell the doc that your therapist recommended it and if necessary the doc can contact your therapist. Not sure if this would be possible for you-- but I've been told that having a parent go along-- even though you are an adult-- also helps-- shows that the family is aware and is supporting your decision.... just an idea.
good luck with it all-- keep us posted- K?
