KrazyKat, are you in the US? Many psych providers will see clients every 3 months (if stable) and just write out three written scripts for one month each. Some will even go longer and just have the client come to the office to pick up scripts. I probably have not met one who demands monthly visits. I did meet one who did not believe in adult ADHD >_<. (I work in the field). I am also willing to invest more money into some quality long-acting medication. All the hours in life I will recapture (priceless) and money I will make (working more hours) will be worth it.
no_dopamine, my parents are self-employed. My dad lets his OCD run freely and my mom has the freedom to spend days to do hours of work. It makes them happy, but it is not enough for me. I completely understand if you crave to get more done in life than the absolute minimum! Hope it goes well 
Your doc apparently missed the large body of research that concluded that people with treated ADHD are less likely to abuse substances!
