I'm sure you can find examples of failings on all sides, but doctors are the ones that pull the trigger. When I got an amphetamine prescription in uni (like everyone else), I felt like I was lucky to have a doctor that started me off on the lowest dose. Everyone I knew was on a much higher dose than me just starting out. People would get a dual prescription of XR capsules + IR tabs when they need a bump. Then when they couldn't sleep, the doc would just add another pill to the mix. And not just a mild one, but an extreme one like Seroquel. Your doctor just isn't a specialist, and certainly not someone specializing in you and your specific ailments despite what we seem to pretend in these threads. Best strategy is to be informed and meet them in the middle.
