Because apparently it's her job to decide what risks are worth me taking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Or something. It's baffling coming from her given a previous discussion where she was like "my job as a doctor is to give you the patient the information you need to make an informed choice, not to make decisions for you".
I mean yes it's possible taking Drug X will increase my anxiety, but it's not like once I take a med once I am obliged to keep taking it forever. I am perfectly capable of saying "no this is making things worse" or "no it's not worth the side effects" (see also: me not taking prednisone for the last few flare ups of FOP stuff, because fuck prednisone).
Really I think she thinks I don't have adhd, I'm just making it up, and so it would be Irresponsible of her to ... uh ... let me try to do something that makes life better?
(Also, like, my physical quality of life is kind of shit, but there's a chance maybe I could have better brain quality of life and not just be trapped in a brain that doesn't work, and mental health is fucking important.) Grrrrr.
