You've imagined a situation. You're catastrophising. Increasing the dose when symptoms get worse would be profoundly stupid on your part and that of the psychiatrist: that's the part where they'd reassess the diagnosis. You have the gall to call me "deadly wrong" about my lived experience of ADHD based on an imagined situation?
