I'd say taper off your meds and just live your life. When I was 20, I was thrown in the hospital to be taken off benzos and adderall. I had problems with doctors breaking confidentiality. They also put me on BS pills--cymbalta, trileptal, buspar, vistaril--and didn't take me seriously. I just quit going. I looked like hell for about 2 years, until a manic episode made me lose weight and look young again. Then I had to start taking meds again. That time, though, the doc took me seriously and even gave the "pill head" some much needed downers.
Anyway, enough about me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been there. You don't need amphetamines. You need a lot of things, but Rx speed isn't one of them. You also don't need an overpaid bully of a shrink pumping you full of ineffective meds and ignoring your complaints. So quit. Maybe this doc could actually do something useful and help you taper off everything and see how you do. Maybe you could taper off, get your life straight, and then see a new doctor.
Stop thinking about amphetamine. Its just a pill. I don't think you're an addict or a junkie or whatever, but I do think you need to realize that life is a lot bigger than shrinks and uppers.
