I didn't mean to suggest there was anything wrong with your original regimen--it totally sucks when you have one that's actually working, and a doc alters it because of some hang up about the drugs' risk, or because he doesn't like a certain drug.
Perhaps you could bring your doctor in some articles on high-dose stimulant use? I think somewhere in Dr. Bob's tips, there are some notes regarding stimulant use that include high dose treatment in some patients.

The specific case mentioned is of an elderly woman taking 100mg dexamphetamine daily--which would be roughly equivalent to 200mg methylphenidate...
