Hi,
I can't help but I know what you mean about psychiatrists in the UK being over cautious, I've been to see about 8 in the UK on the NHS and privately and none of them would prescribe stimulants for me. I can't even get any of them to prescribe Wellbutrin (Zyban) as my last psychiatrist insists it's not used for depression. I found it really difficult to get any of them to give me Nardil and the problem is you don't know what they will give you until you spend ages to see them on the NHS or spend lots of money to see them quickly privately.
So I then tried to go to my Doctor and asked him if he could put me on Zyban saying I wanted to give up smoking and it was for that but he wouldn't either.
I have thought about trying to get stimulants or wellbutrin on the net but you never really know for sure what you're getting.
Anyway, best of luck and let me know if you do get to find an English Pychiatrist who is prepared to be a bit more innovative in his/her approach.
