Gotta add my two cents... From what I am reading here, you really do need to find yourself a new doctor, he may be right in you needing to use the medications he is prescribing to you. He may even be right about who knows what, but where I'm from half of the doctors job is to keep YOU the patient informed on what is going on with your body. He is responsible for alleviating your fears and concerns about medications, tests, questions, whatever. I myself suffer from many and varied conditions, and it has taken me a long time and a long list of doctors to finally find one that could at least talk to me, about everything, rather than just assuming this or that diagnosis. I've had doctors tell me I had things wrong with me that I KNOW were not wrong with me, just to get me out of the office and get the next patient in. These are not good doctors. I understand it may be difficult with your insurance and work schedule to find a good doctor, but I must urge you to keep looking. The stress of the wrong doctor is worse for you than the stress of trying to find the right one. Best of luck to you, hope everything works out for the best.
PS, I do agree with the whole try a little bit of the medication in the morning, on a patch of skin to make sure you dont get severe reactions... you can always put it somewhere that is hidden by clothes. If you are going to react to it, it doesnt matter where you have put it, you WILL react to it. and at least then you dont have to worry about the reaction being on your face or an embarassing body placement.
