What metro area do you live in now?
Someone suggested getting your medical records forwarded and a MD-MD phone call, and I agree. Also seek a physician who treats ADD in Adults, and isn't bound by unjustified morality re stimulants. Among other places, try the local university med school -- psychiatry, child psychiatry and behavioral neurology departments.
While Dexedrine certainly has therapeutic potential for many, IT IS amphetamine and has high potential for abuse (especially if used IV). Try to understand the difficulty doctors have distinguishing folks like you from those abusing it ("drug seeking behavior"). Further, by law they have to document your ADD in prescribing controlled drugs.
I agree with you that its frustrating!
