A lot of pdocs (not all) have a very algorithmic approach to treating symptomatology while ignoring the etiology.

It's easier. I saw a pdoc on TV sit with a patient for an hour (what they're supposed to do); my old pdoc had people in and out within 3-4 minutes tops.

I'm not a doctor, but it may behove you to begin reading scientific journals regarding these medications so that you can make an assessment.

We entrust too much to "Dr." This means they are bright and got through med school.

Some have been out of med school for years; I bet, despite however good or poor of a student you were, you scantly recall much without review from your early education.

A lot of pdocs are like this. They coast by on the letters behind their names, expecting to go unchallanged because society elevates them without much criticism.

You have access to the same articles they do a lot of the times.

If you find a good pdoc, they'll appreciate your knowledge of these topics, correct you if you err, and work with you.

The "coasters" don't keep up with new research, and can be quite dangerous when treating you.

It sounds like a heavy heavy cocktail, but I do not know you, your body, nor the specific interactions well enough than to say that there's a possibility that that is no bueno.
