This is a good reason to seek a second opinion. A lot of health care professionals are against medication for different reasons. However YOU are in charge. If you keep an open mind, listen to there advice, weigh it against what you have found on you own, you symptoms and situation, then decide if you want to pursue a different treatment approach. If you do, then seek an independent second opinion. IMO I think too many times patients just assume the health care professional has some magical talent for knowing exactly what to do to treat every patient. I'm in an area of health care, once you see what goes on behind the scenes and see the "evidence" they tend to use in treating people... you realize they are not all knowing. Good health care is a collaborative process, both the patient and the HC provider need to listen and respect each other. If you don't feel like you concerns are being heard...find new people to treat you.
Just to be clear, when I changed GP's, my new GP did not treat my ADHD, exactly the way I THOUGHT I should be treated...But he LISTEN to my concerns and tried to address them. You posts seem to indicate you feel they are not listening to you. This is not good IMO
