I know being on meds is no fun. I know it feels like you are giving up control to the meds. I think this is particularly an issue for people with our diagnosis because it often takes a combination of meds to work, and often it takes trial and error to find that right combination. I also know the med she is putting you on. I take it myself. Personally I haven't had any problems with it. That doesn't mean you won't. We're all different, but hopefully it will also work for you. You won't know until you try.

Maybe knowing that your pdoc doesn't want to make things harder for you is a kind of trust. She's trying to help you, not hurt you. You seem to know that. Remember, you can call her up if you are having problems with a med. Meds can be adjusted or something else can be tried. Your communication with her is your control.
