I've never heard of a shrink who would do anything but rejoice upon hearing that someone wanted to low-dose a controlled substance or take breaks. Maybe he thinks you're being too cautious, given all the problems you've had?
He might just think stims are the magic ticket to getting you to be happier, more productive, better adjusted, etc. The higher doses just might be a way of him expressing his enthusiasm. Just a guess.
Anyway, I've also noticed that male psychiatrists high dose things more often than females. Its weird. I think men really want to feel like "real doctors" with real treatments, so they sometimes go a bit apesh!t with doses, at least more often than women. Just something I've observed through personal experience.
