My advice? Don't over think it.

Do certainly tell the doctor about the blood clots -- that is important information, and there's a clear non medication cause, so it shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, not telling him could be hazardous to your health, if he prescribes something which would exacerbate the problem.

Here's the conclusion I've come to: be honest, be straightforward, don't try to use subtle methods of influencing him, and stick to the argument which I think trumps all others: the stuff works for you. That being the case, it just makes sense to continue it.

The only thing I wouldn't necessarily include in your history with him is that you haven't had neuropsych testing. That's less relevant, since most ADHD is still dx'd based on clinical signs.

Good luck.
