Hi Jackie
If you're looking for informed input re the actual meds, PB might be better?
But as far as tactics go.... your pdoc is making it very hard by dismissing your concerns. Leaves you in the awkward position of having to try and negotiate tactfully. Not much fun. You could try showing him the info you have found mentioning that this can be a side effect, and ask if he will humour you and try something different, not that one or other of you is 'right'?
I had it easy as therapist and prescriber are/were different people. If there's any sort of therapist relationship with your pdoc, then it would be valid to explore the issue of not feeling heard by him. But even if not, its absolutely within your rights to tell him exactly what you have told us, in the same clear and cool way.
But what a nightmare he is! Good luck!
