Hi, Chiron:

The more important person in the doctor-patient relationship is you, not the doctor. The doctor can be great, but you can still do poorly, and vice-versa. When you stake your well-being on the doctor (who has dozens of patients like you and doesn't particularly care about any patient although you may think that you're his special patient), you can suffer terribly when the doctor doesn't respond as much as you need at that time. The way to go is to take control of your meds and decide on your own what to take. If the med. you're currently taking has improved your well-being compared to the one that existed before you started on that med, then increase it. If that's not the case, stop it. The next time you go to your doctor, bring with you names of 2-3 meds. you'd like to try and ask him his opinion. You actually get some respect from doctors that way.
