Don't let the hassle concern you as much as your wellbeing. I stuck with the most awful pdoc for way too long, because he was affiliated with the clinic my therapist was working with, and because it seemed easier than starting over. The second pdoc I foolishly had my records forwarded to, more of the same. The third pdoc didn't request my records and I didn't volunteer them. He lowered the AD doses and put me on a mood stabilizer and I was sooooo much better off.
The really bad one was also very demeaning in his attitude towards me. I think he got mad because I didn't get better - what a huge surprise when he had missed that I need a mood stabilizer with AD's.
There *are* decent pdocs out there who will treat you with respect. You deserve one of them for yourself.
