There’s something wrong with this page bc it keeps crashing. I totally understand your frustration you are not alone with this problem. The clinic I have been attending for the last 12 years no longer employs skilled psychiatric nurses who specialize in adhd meds (just learned this recently).  I somehow picked the wrong insurance provider (aetna) who sucks btw, don’t ever choose them. Aetna won’t supply my medication, vyvanse. Bc it’s a behavioral medication and is viewed as a less than serious health disorder.. That’s another topic tho..
The ‘nurse’ who writes my Rx’s for vyvanse currently, knows very little about adhd… In fact I am more aware of adhd and the medications that are commonly prescribed for it than she does.. Of course she’s 20 yrs younger than me.. So I understand your frustration and wanting to pull your hair out at times- no sense in making yourself bald and adding another problem right?
Go search for a new practitioner either a psychiatric nurse who knows adhd medications or a doctor who specializes in mental health disorders specifically adhd. Seeing a nurse will mean a lower co pay on your insurance. I have my appointment with the pseudo nurse in half an hour.. I also had to explain to her at the last visit how to complete the application for the patient assistance program through Shire the pharma co that makes vyvanse.
In the meantime the staff seem to treat me as I’m an addict, even required me to take a pee test (at my expense) before they would prescribe any sched 4 medication. I like you am someone who just wants to better my life and live up to my potential even if that means taking a medication to get me there.. A BIG difference between that and some street junkie trying to game the medical system for profit. We deserve to be seen by competent qualified doctors who truly want to be our partner in treatment.. Find another doctor and when you do tell the dope who you are currently seeing how you felt and why he would be better off referring you to someone qualified rather than wasting your time.
Good luck!
