In reply to nortriptyline working!- should I tell doc?, posted by inanimate peanut on August 11, 2010, at 0:42:56
You should wait until it's worked for several weeks and you're confident of the response.
Then you really would have to consider how your pdoc will respond. You know here; we don't.
However, if I had told a patient that I wouldn't prescribe a med for safety reasons, and I thought the med was truly dangerous, I would feel that the patient had violated the basic trust necessary for a doctor patient relationship. I would not be able to work with a patient for whom I was prescribing potentially dangerous meds, who didn't respect my limits for what I could and couldn't recommend.
So I think I would refer you to someone else. But you seem not to respect your pdoc's opinion, so I don't understand why you would want to keep seeing her. I highly recommend you find a new pdoc, rather than return to her.
