I have to agree with Chris. She does sound like she is being straight with you. I have problems with suggestibility as far as side effects go, not so much actually having the side effects because I read about them, but becoming terrified that I will have the side effect so I don't even take the med in the first place. Because of this, me and my pdoc have agreed for me to trust him and try a med he gives me for a little while before I go reading about it, that way any thing I "feel" can be truly attributed to the med and not me getting scared. But we've specifically talked about it and made an agreement. Perhaps if you talked to her about this you guys could make a similar agreement?
