I know that for me, at least, if I start a medication with the idea that it will be a problem, it always comes true -- it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I expect something to be bad -- and so I am aware of EVERY TINY SIGN that it might be bad, and NOT aware of the benefits I might be getting from it. I think going into a medication trial without expectations and without bias makes for a much higher likelihood of success.
I would recommend that you give this doctor and this medication an honest and fair trial before rejecting them.
Good luck.
