I'm an Australian citizen who has been living in Scotland for the last 5 years, and got a diagnosis there of ADHD through the NHS & prescribed medication for the past 3 years. I recently moved back here, and have been having difficulties getting the same prescription recognized, as I think they must be cracking down on new scripts for the medication quite heavily here.

I've been to see a psychiatrist, who has un-diagnosed me with having ADHD in their opinion, and refused to write a script for regular medication. Instead they've given me a temporary, smaller dose script to wean off of it to prevent withdrawals.

Obviously I'm going to be going and getting opinion from another psych, but my question is if I have any legal ground to stand on for proving that I have a diagnosis and having that honored, or whether it is just up to the whims of whichever psych I see to decide?

I'm pretty scared right now, so if anyone has any advice about where else to go to get assistance, I'd really appreciate it.
