I am having a similar problem with my doctor right now. I want him to put me on a new medication but he won’t do it. The one I take now (Welbutrin) just isn’t doing enough. But I have trouble expressing myself and no one ever takes me seriously.
Follow Larynxa’s advice. It really helps to be prepared. It sounds like your doctor may not understand ADD that well. It is very possible to have ADD and not be noticeably hyperactive and do well in school. It affects everyone differently.
Also, there has been some trouble with people abusing ADD medications, especially in your age group. It could be harder to get doctors to believe you because they might think you just want the drugs. So be careful not to give them that impression.
