Q: How I get my doctor to prescribe more adderall to me. I am at 40mg and I want to go up without looking like a junkie?
Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
I would suggest keeping a log of how the medication is working. There is suggestions on how to create a chart to keep track of your progress: How Do You Know if a Treatment is Working
You can then share this information with your doctor at your next visit. It will show what areas you still want to improve and help you explain to your doctor why you don't believe this is the right dosage for you.
I hope this helps
Eileen
