I can totally relate. I have to agree, I think she doesn't trust you. Maybe she doesn't trust any of her patients with these types of meds. I have personally found that the better the quality of pdoc (more experience, more med knowledge), the less paranoid they are about prescribing the benzos. I personally would find a new pdoc. I am not sure where you are located if there are other pdocs available to you. I am in California where there is a pdoc on every corner. Most of the pdocs I have had have never requested medical records from the old doctor and took my word at what meds I was currently on. So I guess it is pretty relaxed here in California. I think it is reasonable to at least have a prescription of 1 pill a day for the month. I think it is ridiculous that most of the doctors don't want to prescribe these meds when they are so helpful to so many people. What are they for then? LOL!
