Do you have your records from the previous doc? If you've responded well to the meds for ADHD in the past, I would think this is your best argument. I would get a hold of your records. They should still be available even though discontinued practice in October, definitely worth getting a hold of.
I know BP symptoms at times can mimic ADHD and vice versa. It is a gray area. I know at one point when BP meds weren't working we explored this possibility by taking ADHD meds and because of my reaction to the meds, discovered this wasn't the case; it truely was BP. Sometimes that is the only way to tell. If BP meds alone aren't working, for me it is worth trying and the doc thought so too in this case.
I can definitely sympathize though with having a doc that isn't listening; have had those before too.
