How does a clinician distinguish between a dose being "too low" versus the medication simply wearing off early in the day?

If the person gets full relief of symptoms but it fades later in the day, its likley meds wearing off early. You can test this by increasing the dose and noting if the adhd symptoms get worse then its likley the medication wearing off early, so in this instance I would consider booster medication
