I tend to give a certain latitude to whom ever I see, I do my research and speak my concerns and I listen to what their argument is. Most doctors know what they are talking about, some however just like power over others.. Rare though. If a Doctor says you should try something else, you should at least meet him half way and try something else and if that fails you can discuss going back on what ever you were taking before, it's a process.. It starts with trust, and if you have a good doctor he/she will start to trust you in time.. I hope this helps, 30 some I have years of being a psych patient..
