>> The last few doctors got *really* pissed off when I asked for a specific medication. It is like they think they had a more intricate sence of my body's workings than I do.


How terrible! Docs can be so arrogant at times. Maybe it would helped if you pretended to defer to their "superior" intellect. For example say, "I've been reading a lot about medications on the internet and I know I'm not a doctor and medications are really complicated so could you answer some questions for me?" Then say, "I saw on a website that medication X would be really good for my condition because <insert reason here>, what do you think?"

Maybe (s)he'll be more receptive.

Just a thought.
