i now have a pdoc who listens to me very attentively and does not seem to resent my fledgling knowledge of meds. he takes my suggestions into consideration and generally gives me what i want, though not in a wimpy kind of way...when i suggested xanax, he said, "let's just double your klonopin first." when i refused depakote, he said "let me give you some sample packs of lamictal."
the pdoc also works at a free clinic, which is refreshing because my other experiences with pdocs at free clinics has not been good.
i'd hesitate to vindicate an entire profession that way. you've run into some bad ones, but...i dunno, i don't like generalizing...i also don't think it's helpful to go in with such strong prejudice...self-fulfilling prophecy?
