No Doc is gonna jump from methylphenidate (because you became tolerant to 40, 60 80+mgs) to medical methylphetamine.
They will more likely move up to the next step-ADDerall, then maybe Dexedrine.
WITH MUCH hesistancy, after time and dosage alterations, if you complain enought, and have good trust with said doc, they MAY (VERY SELDOMLY) loathingly! script medical meth, at a small dose (infrequently-but does happen)for sever treatment resistant, very stim tolerant folk.
Psydocs hate to scripe Methylphetamine, unless you have run the gamet and dosages of ADD/hd meds.
Most will not even entertain the notion.
Methylphetamine has a notorious social/medical stigma, unfortunately, as it often works wonders, with excellent PNS Vs CNS affinities.
SEVER long term Narcolepsy is the usual treatment of the med.
