I agree with you Phillipa. Ones intuition is very strong, and to ignore it in favor of blind faith is unwise in my opinion.
Doctors often just say things becuase they think that (in the medical community) this is what is acceptable, and expected of them. Doctors feel pressured to make decisions, and to get people well. They will downplay side effects in order to get you to take medications. One doctor told me that effexor does not cause sexual side effects or any insomnia. Now how can I trust that doctor when he tells me that the drug isn't going to fry my brain?
It is not totally uncommon for some psychiatrists to end up leaving their practice because they don't really feel "right" about the sorts of decisions they are being pressured to make.
