I would get a new pdoc. That was not an unreasonable request, laughing at you and dismissing your issue is not acceptable. If they won't prescribe your adderrall either they are not treating your ADHD. You need to go somewhere else.

I really think you need a second opinion because that is a lot of meds and your AD's may not be working well with your mood stablizers.

Maybe you don't really need yet another med thrown into the mix, but rather overhaul of your combo. More isn't always better.

I am 57 and have had bipolar since I was 15. In my experience a doctor that will listen to your ideas and work with you is what you need. I have brought a lot of information to my doctor and he doesn't laugh. He takes me seriously and always considers what I have to say.

Are you enrolled in therapy?
Its common for college campuses to not prescribe add mess. Im not surprised.

I could see your doctor laughing at that request. Get a new doctor like you mentioned, second opinions.

As Venus said ... Maybe you need an overhaul of your current meds... More meds is not always a good think .
Good luck !
