Personally, I'm happy with my current setup. Every med has a necessary purpose and there's no side effects. However, I've had more than a few medical professionals just throw prescriptions at my problems in hopes they'll go away and I'll stop bothering them.

I've had to have that particular chat before. I quite frankly had to make the providers in question sit down and make their case and reserve the right to stop the med if it wasn't working or if the side effects were too severe. I also added an implied "or else I'll just stop taking it on my own" if they tried to push too hard.

Good luck!
