Yeah she's probably right that it's not an allergy. That is typically more sudden and severe. Regardless, you're right to feel a bit concerned about her tone. The thing about medicine is that healthcare providers and patients are supposed to be PARTNERS in care.... it's not supposed to be that the patient MUST do whatever the doc says. That's not right and she shouldn't be coercing you or any of her other patients into doing what she says. You have to question whether or not to continue with her if you're feeling uncomfortable. It's too important to have quality mental health care to be with a pdoc who isn't treating you the way you want or deserve to be treated. I don't know where you're at or what your capabilities are for seeing someone else, but hopefully you can at least look into it in case you decide to change in the future. Whatever you decide good luck, and hopefully your physical symptoms will go away!!!
