You need to trust your consultant, she is the expert. If the drug is highly addictive, it could end up messing you up more than the effect of ADHD, especially if your main issue currently is lack of energy and motivation, which many people with no diagnosis of ADHD suffer from to.
You need to speak with her again and weigh the pros and con of any medication. If she feels that everything has been tried and that you symptoms are affecting you more than the side effects of other drugs, she might agree on a trial basis. You need to work with her. Self-medicating with any addictive medication is a recipe for disaster. Don't do it.

Hi FBaby, It’s not a case of not trusting her, but they simply do not prescribe it for whatever reason. Many places do though while the drug I want, Adderall is the most commonly prescribed drug of choice in America but unfortunately it isn’t available on the NHS over here. Dexedrine is the closest thing to Adderall. I definitely will not be self medicating!! I will either get it from an NHS nurse or a professional ADHD worker privately.
Thanks for your concern
