My advice: get a second opinion from a cognitive behavioural therapist. If you are already high functioning and happy with your life, mind altering drugs (which ADHD prescriptions most definitely are) could be a loaded foot-gun. CBT on the other hand is literally the same body of techniques used under other names by top athletes, musicians, and anyone else for whom real-time mental focus is a huge part of their career. Please note, I am not saying ADHD does not exist, nor am I saying that the Rx's are not necessarily wonderful for some people, nor am I anti-drug. I have no doubt that for some people ADHD medication has been a life-saver. But it doesn't sound like you necessarily are one of those people, and there is no doubt a problem with a segment of the psychiatric profession being very quick to prescribe drug based solutions. The fact that you exhibit what your current doctor calls symptoms is not necessarily justification for changing anything or adopting a new drug regime. And we can all benefit from the mental discipline of CBT practices. I had an ex go through a CBT program for social anxiety and it was life changing for her - without drugs.
