As far my T, she really thinks I would feel better and make faster progress if I tried them. The so called "quality of life" focus. She is respectful and supportive of my decision but wants to make sure I know things could be easier.

I'm definitely in a locked mode with the MD over meds; but then that's their focus

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">I'm curious about why you are even seeing MD over this problem? Yes, if you were taking psychoactive meds, you would be seeing a pdoc about this, but you're not. So I'm guessing you are talking about your family doctor when you say "MD". If it is your family doctor, can you just not visit her for this problem.? Go for infections and broken bones and such, but leave the psychoactive meds discussions out of her office. If she nags again, just say something like, "thank you for your input. I am considering the best course of action for myself. Now, let's get back to my sore throat..." If she keeps pushing and repeating the same thing over and over, tell her something like, "you've made your opinion on this known and I understand your view. Thank you. You don't need to tell me again."

I'm not trying to make it sound easy, but if you don't want meds right now, do what you can to get these people off of your back. You can always change your mind in the future if the no-meds route is not successful.

Good luck!!
