My pdoc was like this at first. He kept wanting to change things even though I was feeling fine.
I flat out told him "no, I don't want to change my meds. I feel good right where I'm at." Then he argued, "but you need to be on higher doses for them to be effective." I responded to that with: "well, can I try it out? If I need higher doses, I'll call you." He wasn't a fan of it, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it, unless he wanted to drop me as a client (which I know he wouldn't do).
Sometimes you just have to plant your foot firmly on the ground and stick up for yourself. It can be intimidating at first, but you are seeking help for yourself. You are your own best advocate
