Can't get stimulants due to past history

I drank heavily from 2020 to 2023 because of the pandemic and a very stressful living situation at the time. I was taught from a young age to always be honest, and it has worked against me to get the stimulants I need to function because. Even though I've been sober for almost 3 years, no psychiatrist has been willing to give me stimulants because of my drinking history. I have been prescribed 5 different medications to try already over the past 2 years and none of them worked. What are my next steps?

I'm sorry to hear all that you have been through!

It can take some time to find what works for you, I would brainstorm other possible coping mechanisms with your doctor, until you find something that helps 💚

Genuinely wishing you the best.
