Skip the primary doctor (at first), and find a specialist that ONLY diagnoses, but does not treat. That person will test you and give you a diagnosis (accurately without bias based on your returning visits). Once you have the diagnosis, you're set. All you need to do is take the diagnosis to your general doctor and the doctor will prescribe the Adderall. He or she won't charge you an office visit every month when you have to come back and pick up the prescription, just the first one.
If you get a doctor that won't prescribe it, do not think twice about it; find another doctor. He or she has no idea about ADD.
see "difference between ADD and OCD" It will help a lot.
