I would just be polite and tell the truth about your situation. That it's bad timing for right now and that you'd be willing to stop your meds or taper from them at a more convenient time. I doubt they would think you're just pill seeking if they've been treating you for a few months already. Just don't sound upset and speak the truth. It's a very legit reason to postpone stoppage of your meds. They had to go to school and study too at one point.
Yeah I just emailed him and told the truth that "I am very anxious about stopping all ADD/ADHD medication suddenly. Especially since I have decided to go back to College to pursue my RN/BSN nursing degree, and I am starting an intensive Summer 2 semester on the 13th."

Anyways,
We will see what he says. And it's not like I was just "randomly" diagnosed. I went through the WHOLE ADD/ADHD testing 4 years ago (questions, asking my wife questions, computer tests, live tests, etc). Very discouraging and it def' doesn't help with my anxiety in the least!
Gah.
