The way I usually approach a new doc is to tell them what I've been doing, and ask them what they think I should do now. Be willing To stop the MJ, and say so, if you choose not to lie about it. (Personally, I'd lie, too.) I don't go in telling them what I want them to do, as that has a tendency to tick off some docs. I ask them what they want me to do. I have found that many times what they want me to do agrees with what I want. (new med, dose change, etc.)

Be open to new ideas and give yourself time to get used to the new docs personality. He may want to see you more than once before prescribing anything heavy duty.

Good Luck!!
