ADHD Doctor - Orange County, CA

I have taken adderral at 120mg for past 12 years. I just moved to California but i'm having a hard time getting a doctor to write my perscription here and I am out of money trying to find a doctor who will write my dosage. I've been told they need extensive tests and they don't write that high. I am in Orange County, California. Can anyone refer a psychiatrist who will?

I live in Long Beach.  I could recommend a very good doctor (my doctor) but I am positive he won't proscribe over 60 mg a day.  Let me know if you can find a doc who will proscribe that much or if you want his contact info.

He really is a very good doctor.  I just don't think he'd appreciate me putting his contact info on an open forum.

To get a dose that high.  You need to bring medical records.  Printouts of past docs visits will do.  Preferably from the last 2 docs, so that he knows that your last doc wasn't a quack.

Try switching to Vyvannse and a good high protein breakfast and see if that works.  
   Otherwise, go with what your doc offers and let him work with you.  You could have a rapid metabolism and need more, but the doc won't knoW until he has time to work with you.
