A pdoc is going to be cautious about your straight up asking for ADHD meds. They will probably ask about addiction history in your life and family.
Raising that you think you have ADHD as a concern, and that its debilitating is a good idea, but typically bipolar is a differential diagnosis for ADHD, so a pdoc will need to untangle the issues, by seeing how you respond to meds. It might take a while to get this all sorted.
Just be a little patient if it doesn't get fixed right away, perhaps? I'd agree with others not to push the "how about some (class 2) stimulants while you have your script pad handy?"
