Link,
good luck with this. I think Scott is right on the money. Good that you have your list, and as far as being off meds, don't anticipate what the doc will say. Scott was right, tell them what the meds were doing to you! When I told my doc I went off the stuff he Rx'd, and "played around with" the previous meds he'd Rx'd, he just very calmly asked, so what did you come up with, and how did it work for you. They've heard it ALL, you're not going to shock them. In that 2 hr drive get your confidence up, and just spill it in a calm way when you see them.
I agree with telling them what you've figured out, and offering suggestions, IF your p-doc can handle that. Also, it's okay to question what they Rx, and why. What's the point of going all that way only to come home deflated. It's your appt. time, take it! And good luck! Let us know how it goes!
